This little Eastern Blue was so cute taking a bath in our bird bath here on Cape Cod. He wasn’t even afraid to bathe while the Mourning Dove stood by watching him. He then shook off on the side of the bird bath.
The last photograph shows him high on a branch in the tree drying off and warming up in the sun.
It must be almost spring. I’ve seen a lot of birds at our bird bath this winter getting a drink of water, but not too many having a bath! Too cute!
It was a gorgeous day a few weeks ago to take a walk on the beach by Rock Harbor in Orleans on Cape Cod. The clouds were just spectacular as the temperatures were in the high 60s. Unbelievable for February on Cape Cod!
March has been exceptionally cold. We’re waiting for spring…
I’m always scouting out for the perfect picnic spot whether it be on the water or some other scenic place in Cape Cod. These 3 picnic benches are just perfect as they overlook Rock Harbor in Orleans and Cape Cod. Bay.
It doesn’t get much prettier! Can’t wait for our first picnic!
I’ve been looking for a good photograph of a Red-Breasted Merganser all winter here on Cape Cod. And then yesterday when I was hiking at Wiley Park I saw something swimming in the kettle pond near the shore. I quickly got my camera out and got ready. I quietly walked down the little trail to the shore and stood behind a tree. As soon as I saw him get closer, I clicked away. And, as soon as he heard the click, he flew away!
But I think I got a pretty good photograph. What do you think?
Phil and I always said that this diving duck was having a “bad hair day!” Cute little guy, don’t you think?
