These two little Swallow chicks were sitting on the fence at Fort Hill, waiting for mom to come back. They even let me click away from the car as we drove by.
So cute, don’t you think?

Iconic Drive To Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.
Yesterday evening I took a drive to Coast Guard Beach and Nauset Light Beach, hoping for some cooler temperatures than at my house and maybe a good photo before the approaching storm this weekend. The waves were supposed to be big!
I wasn’t disappointed at all! While the waves were not very big, this iconic view of Coast Guard Beach and Coast Guard Station was spectacular! What do you think?
Nauset Marsh Trail On Cape Cod.
Beautiful Halloween Pennant Dragonfly On Cape Cod!
We were hiking along the Nauset Marsh Trail when we saw this flicker of something shining on one of the tall reeds by the side of the trail. It looked like a dragonfly so we clicked away. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It is a Halloween Pennant Dragonfly which is a brightly colored dragonfly that lives in the eastern United States. It gets its name from its orange colored wings which have dark brown bands marking them. It is often seen perched on tips of vegetation near the edges of a waterway, which is exactly where we saw it.
What an treat and a first for us! Have you ever seen a Halloween Pennant Dragonfly?
