As I was hiking at Wiley Park yesterday, you could see the wind really picking up, as there were pretty big waves on Great Pond. It’ll be interesting to see how the weekend weather pans out… these waves might look small!

The Many Downed Trees Are All Cleaned Up At Wiley Park On Cape Cod.
618 viewsWe hiked Wiley Park and were shocked at how many trees and huge branches had come down in the blizzard. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
Thanks to the Eastham town workers who have done a tremendous job clearing the trails and making them safe again for everyone to enjoy.
This huge tree came down right across the trail.
As you go over the bridge, two trees fell together making a little arch to walk under… or run under.
Have you been to Wiley lately? What a fantastic job cleaning it up! Thank you from all of us!
Lots Of Snow At Wiley Park On Cape Cod.

We went snowshoeing at Wiley Park the other day and there’s still a lot of snow! It was fun to snowshoe on the trails and up and over the bridge. With the forecast for temps in the 20s and for more snow, I think the snow will be there for quite a while.
Beautiful Ring-Necked Ducks at Wiley Park On Cape Cod.
700 viewsThere was a large flock of about 20 Ring-necked Ducks on Great Pond at Wiley Park the other day. They were just gorgeous!
We saw a lot of these ducks out in Colorado way up high on a pond in the Rocky Mountains, so it’s always a treat to see them here too.
Ring-necked Ducks are medium diving ducks that have a blue-gray bill with a white ring and a black tip. I always wondered why they aren’t called “Ring-billed Ducks.”
Beautiful bird, don’t you think? Have you ever seen a Ring-necked Duck?
Still Some Ice At Wiley Park On Cape Cod.

I was surprised to still see some ice on Great Pond while hiking at Wiley Park yesterday morning. With the warmer temperatures the past few days, I thought it would all be melted. You can see the Ring-necked Ducks in the distance, but they couldn’t get close to shore with the ice.
I bet after today with temps in the 20s and wind chills in the teens, they’ll be a lot more ice!
Hiking At Wiley Park On Cape Cod Is Magical During The Holiday Season.
639 viewsI always look forward to this time of year when lots of Christmas ornaments have been hung from the branches at Wiley Park. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
The ornaments are so pretty and varied. I usually like the Cape Cod ones best, but being an M&M fan, I had to pick this one this year.
Have you walked through Wiley Park this winter?
It feels like such a magical place and such a fun walk… looking at all of the beautiful Christmas tree ornaments!

Ice Skating And Ice Fishing At Great Pond On Cape Cod.

It’s been so cold here on the Cape that there were several people ice fishing at Great Pond. You could also see 2 places that were shoveled for skating, although there was no one skating at the time.
We’ve lived here for 10 years and I don’t remember ever seeing ice fishing or ice skating on Great Pond, have you? It sure has been a frigid January!
