The Lily Pads on Silver Spring at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary are just spectacular this year. Phil and I had fun taking different photographs of them.
Here are the 3 that I liked best. What do you think?

Pretty Blue Forget-Me-Not Wildflowers On Cape Cod
Little Chippy At The Wellfleet Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod
Yellow Wood Sorrel Wildflower Is Native To Cape Cod
The Yellow Wood Sorrel is another wildflower that I had never seen before. It’s so much fun to learn the new wildflowers on Cape Cod. Most of them are so different from the ones from Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. I saw this one at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Yellow Wood Sorrel is a small 5-petaled 1/2″ flower with 3 heart-shaped leaflets, similar to a Clover. They are common on Cape Cod and native and bloom from May through August.
I loved the little bit or orange around the center. Pretty, don’t you think?
Snowy Egret At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod
This Snowy Egret was wading at Goose Pond at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, looking for that perfect fish. I love his black legs and bright yellow feet.
The Snowy Egret is about 24″ tall and all white with a long neck and a slender bill. During courtship, they have long, lacy plumes on their back, chest and crown.
Don’t you just love his feet?
