I heard a little rustle in the leaves as we were walking along the boardwalk on the Red Maple Swamp Trail. It didn’t sound like an animal as the sound was too consistent. I thought perhaps it was a snake. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
I had never seen a Garter Snake before so it was pretty cool when we spotted it among the leaves and dead branches on the side of the trail. “Garter snakes are indigenous to North America and found widely across the continent. Most common garter snakes have a pattern of yellow stripes on a black, brown or green background, and their average total length is about 22 inches.”
It seems like there is always a fishing boat docked at MacMillan Pier. The Yankee Rose was just beautiful on the dock with that gorgeous sky and They Faced The Sea mural in the background. You never know what you’ll see at the Pier, but it’s always pretty unique!
It’s almost time to load up those canoe and kayak racks at Hemenway Landing. Pretty soon you’ll see lots of kayakers out enjoying the beauty of Nauset Marsh and Cape Cod National Seashore.
I love the overlook at Nauset Light Beach in a Eastham. You can see for miles. If you get there in the morning on a sunny day, you’ll get treated to a beautiful reflection of the sun on the water. So pretty, don’t you think?
