The trails on Cape Cod are starting to look more and more like spring with all of the leaves starting to come out. It’s so refreshing to see all of the color after winter when everything is so desolate.
Pretty trail, don’t you think?

Early Morning At Ballston Beach On Cape Cod.
“On March 9 of 2013 Atlantic Hurricane cut a 100-foot wide opening in the narrow barrier dune at Ballston Beach in Truro, on Cape Cod. Tons of seawater surged into the freshwater marshes of the upper Pamet River eventually reaching Route 6, and briefly turning the end of Cape Cod into an island.”
What an incredible story! I took this photograph from the summit above Ballston Beach on the Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail. You can see where the dunes were swept away and the water went inland.

Pair Of Ospreys Setting Up Shop On Cape Cod Until…
We were so excited to see this pair of Osprey making their new home on top of this pole not too far from our house. They were bringing in some nice branches which they placed very strategically on the nest. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
They were both chirping away as the male was bringing in fish for the female. Or they would sit in a nearby tree and enjoy their meal.
I took these photographs the first day I saw them, thinking that I’d go back and get some better ones on another day. They were so easy to see.
We went back a few days later and the nest was gone, replaced by a 1/2 of a large cylinder that was now sitting sideways on top of the pole so they could not put a nest there as it was no longer flat. I saw one of the Osprey land on the 1/2 cylinder for a few moments while the other one flew above, chirping way. It quickly flew away.
Our excitement from a few days before was replaced by a great sadness that they were looking for their nest to have their babies and it was no longer there.
