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.
Sometimes the trail gets a little covered with water at high tide on the Nauset Marsh Trail by the Salt Pond, but there is a trail over the hill that you can usually be able to use.
These Double-Crested Cormorants were certainly loving this little shed on the Salt Pond by the Eastham Visitors Center. I counted 16 there at one time, either in the water or sitting on top.
Perfect place for them to perch and dry their wings.
This is such a pretty little boathouse along the river by the Salt Pond in Eastham. The colors that day were just perfect. I took 2 photographs… one a little farther away and the other one closer..
We were taking a hike by the Salt Pond on Nauset Marsh Trail one morning last week when the sun peaked out from behind the clouds. It was glorious.
I went to show Phil my photograph and he remarked, “Oh, you took it in black and white.” I told him that I didn’t take it in black and white, those were the colors you could see when the sun came out.
Pretty cool, don’t you think? It almost looks heavenly…
