Have you ever walked through the community gardens in Orleans? These 14 acres were acquired by the town of Orleans in 2011. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Putnam Farm is permanently protected open space dedicated to agriculture, passive recreation and educational programs.
It is a pretty stroll through the gardens and trails, especially this time of year when everything is in bloom.
We hiked the Morris Island Loop Trail for the first time in years… since South Beach washed away and Morris Island became exposed to the ocean. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
The hike now starts down the road where you take a “right of way” to the beginning of the trail. You can only hike the trail when it is not high tide as the beach is totally covered at high tide and you can’t get by.
While still a pretty hike, it does not have the same ambiance as walking down those high wooden stairs looking out toward Monomoy Island and onto the beach. Mother Nature definitely does what she wants to…
