This beautiful Red Admiral butterfly has been hanging about our yard for a few days now. Whenever we go outside, it always lands right near where we are, almost like saying hello!
There is a little grove of Bluebells and some other little wildflowers growing in the woods near my home. I saw them last year about this same time, but this year they seem to have spread more. They are just beautiful and such a pretty splash of color with pinks and blues and whites! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It seems like we spend the last part of the winter waiting patiently for our favorite birds to return for the new season. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We saw a few Piping Plovers scurrying about the beach the other day. They were down by the water and up high on the beach running in and out of the seaweed. We didn’t see any babies… maybe it’s still a bit early. We didn’t see any nests either, but they are usually well hidden.
It was a gorgeous day for a walk on Coast Guard Beach, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It is amazing how the coastline can change in just a few weeks. You can see a new little “bay” has formed as you walk down toward Nauset Spit.
