The White Campion wildflowers are blooming all over Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod. They have a whitish to pinkish flower that opens at night and on overcast days. How interesting…
The 5 petals, which are 1 to 1 1/2″, are so deeply notched that they look like 10 petals. White Campions bloom from June through August so you can still find them on roadsides , fields and open areas.
We hiked down Coast Guard Beach to the Nauset Break the other day. It seems like it it forever changing with the weather and the tides.
This day was just spectacular with the sun shining and the blue sky. Phil clicked this pano of me looking out at the break. You can see Nauset Beach in the distance. Solitude at its best…
This little Horseshoe Crab shell that we saw on Coast Guard Beach the other day was no bigger than a quarter. It was tiny!
“For the horseshoe to grow larger, it must molt and shed its shell. These “molts” can sometimes be found near tidal flats, left by the juvenile crabs who live there for their first year or two.”
Fascinating, don’t you think?
It was the perfect beach day at Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore, in Eastham on Cape Cod. It was sunny and warm with a little breeze, but not too hot.
We got there early to beat the heat and the notorious “green flies” and it was well worth it. The perfect day to go to the beach…. for an hour or for the whole day. It doesn’t’ get much better…
