This fall has been just gorgeous for hiking here on Cape Cod. We’ve had warm temps, sunny skies and breezy winds. Fort Hill was especially pretty this day, don’t you think? Love those clouds!

Awesome Paragliders At White Crest Beach On Cape Cod!
It was the perfect day and the perfect place for the paragliders to set up and show everyone what they do! And, were they good! It was so much fun to watch them maneuver up and down the beach… over the water and over the dunes. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
In doing some reading, I did not realize that White Crest is one of the few approved “launching sites” in Massachusetts for paragliders and hang gliders. How cool… and right in our back yard!
I loved these 2 photographs of their colorful para gliders. The sky, as well as the para gliders, was amazing!

Beautiful Sanderlings At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.
Phil and I were taking a walk on Coast Guard Beach the other day when we saw some little birds scurrying about in the and. At first we thought they were some late Piping Plovers, but the coloring wasn’t right. As we got closer, we realized that they were Sanderlings. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
“The first photo shows a Sanderling in winter plumage, the second photo shows a Sanderling molting out of its colorful breeding plumage.”
Thank you, Stephanie (Executive Director at Wild Care Cape Cod) for your expertise and knowledge of these wonderful little birds!
Windy Weather Brings Hang Gliders And Para Gliders To White Crest Beach On Cape Cod.
The past few days have been so windy that we decided to take a drive to Wellfleet and see if there were any good photo ops. When we got to White Crest, we were pleasantly surprised. There was a hang glider setting up in the corner of the parking lot and a handful of para gliders getting their gear ready. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
It was a gorgeous day for any windy sport and we just happened to be there. It was so much fun watching them take off and then do all of their maneuvers. They were very experienced!
So cool, don’t you think?
