When we first moved here, we never saw anyone on this path or on the beach nearby. Many people now have discovered its beauty. It’s still one of my favorites!
Do you know where it is?

Hiking The Trails At the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod.
It’s always such a treat to hike the trails at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. There is always so much to see and it is always changing. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can hike the Silver Spring Loop Trail where you can see many varieties of wildflowers as well as many different kinds of birds. Or you can hike out to the beach and see the various shorebirds that like to feed there.
Have you ever hiked at the Audubon in Wellfleet? It’s great fun for the whole family!

Beautiful Halloween Pennant Dragonfly On Cape Cod!
We were hiking along the Nauset Marsh Trail when we saw this flicker of something shining on one of the tall reeds by the side of the trail. It looked like a dragonfly so we clicked away. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It is a Halloween Pennant Dragonfly which is a brightly colored dragonfly that lives in the eastern United States. It gets its name from its orange colored wings which have dark brown bands marking them. It is often seen perched on tips of vegetation near the edges of a waterway, which is exactly where we saw it.
What an treat and a first for us! Have you ever seen a Halloween Pennant Dragonfly?
