Beautiful Pink Crown Vetch Wildflowers On Cape Cod.

The Crown Vetch wildflowers are blooming all over Cape Cod and are just gorgeous! Crown Vetch are a bicolored flower which form golf-ball size clusters at the end of stalks. They are a creeping plant which makes a nice ground cover.

I took this photograph on the Nauset Marsh Trail past the amphitheater at the Visitors Center.

Doane Rock On Cape Cod Is Huge!.

“Doane Rock is a glacial erratic located in Eastham, Massachusetts on the grounds of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It is the largest exposed boulder on Cape Cod. It stands 18 feet (5.5 m) high and extends below the ground an estimated 12 feet.”

Doane Rock is a cool place to visit as it has so much history. There are even picnic tables and trails nearby… and, kids love it! The 2nd photo is of one of the trails  from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach.

Pretty View By The Salt Pond In Eastham On Cape Cod.

This was such a pretty view of the canoes next to the salt pond by the National Seashore Visitors Center in Eastham. I love that hike overlooking Nauset Marsh and then back through the woods. Have you ever taken the Nauset Marsh Trail?

Extra Treats On The John Kendricks Trail On Cape Cod.

The John Kendricks Trail in Orleans is definitely a dog-friendly trail with fun treats for your special mutt. Along the way is a little box attached to a tree with all sort of goodies. It’s as much fun for the non-dog people as for the dog lovers!

It’s a great hike in the middle of the tall pine trees, a nice respite on a hot day.
