The tides on the Cape have been unbelievably high the past few days. The salt marsh by Boat Meadow looks like Cape Cod Bay has moved inland! Wow!

Lots Of Smoke In The Eastham Area On Cape Cod Yesterday Afternoon.
I went out for a walk after lunch yesterday and noticed it really smelled like smoke. I looked around but didn’t see anything, so I decided to walk over to Boat Meadow. A car from the Eastham Fire Department passed me along the way with its lights flashing. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
When I got there, Deputy Fire Chief Eric Littmann was explaining that the smoke that was settling over the Eastham area was from a fire up in Boxford, MA. They had gotten calls from many concerned Eastham residents who had smelled the smoke. When the wind kicked up, the smoke made its way down here to the Cape and looked like a blanket over Eastham and surrounding areas.
Did you smell the smoke yesterday afternoon?

Lots Of New Seedlings On The Red Maple Swamp Trail At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
If you’ve hiked the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill in the past couple of years, you have probably noticed the clearings of vegetation along the way. These were cleared to give the area needed light and room for the Red Maple seedlings to grow.
As you can see in the photograph, each seedling has a pink flag to identify it. Wow! There sure are a lot of Red Maple seedlings growing in each clearing. Kudos to the national park workers in making this happen! It will be fun to watch them grow.
