When you drive by the Eastham Police Station on Route 6 during the day, it looks a regular Police Station. But when you drive by at night time, oh my goodness! The gorgeous stained-glass window is just gorgeous!
“The Nauset people, sometimes referred to as the Cape Cod Indians, were a Native American Tribe who lived on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. They lived east of Bass River and lands occupied by their closely-related neighbors, the Wampanoag.” You can see how so many places on Cape Cod got their names…. like Nauset Marsh and Nauset Regional High School.
This beautiful stained-glass window depicts the Native Americans who lived in Eastham before the English settlers arrived.
Just gorgeous, don’t you think? Have you ever seen this at night? It takes your breath away!
I saw a little flutter of blue along the trail and was hoping it was one of the early butterflies of the season here on Cape Cod, the Spring Azure. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It was a Spring Azure and I was in for a treat as it flitted about the trail for quite a quite while we clicked away. You can see how vivid the blue is when the butterfly has its wings extended, and then how so dramatically different it is when its sings are folded.
Have you ever seen a Spring Azure butterfly? So pretty, don’t you think?
There were a couple of kite surfers at Coast Guard Beach the other day, enjoying that brisk wind and somewhat warm temps. The sun was shining brightly and they looked like they were loving it!
The grape jelly is out and the sisal twine is cut and on the ground as we anticipated the arrival of the Baltimore Orioles. And then yesterday, we saw a flash of orange up in the top of the tree and we knew they were back. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It’s so exciting to watch these magnificent birds come and eat at the feeders and gather twine to weave their intricate nests. We were lucky a couple of years ago as they made their nest high in a tree right in our back yard. Will we be that lucky again this year? It will be so much fun watching them all summer long. Such a treat!
