We were taking a walk out on the flats at Rock Harbor at dusk the other day, waiting for the sun to set but there were a lot of clouds in the sky. The flats were so pretty with their little tidal pools.
And then the sky opened up for just a few seconds and I clicked away. This is what I got. The pastel colors were so pretty. What do you think?
I love the Northern Flickers that hang out in our yard here on Cape Cod. They are a hoot as they try to get food out of the bird feeders or as they take a bath in our birdbath. This Northern Flicker was resting on the side of the tree outside our bedroom window.
I love the hike from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach and the little off-shoot trail that overlooks Nauset Marsh. I thought this was such a cool photograph of the tall cattails with Nauset Marsh and Nauset Beach in the background.
And then I was editing it with my new camera and couldn’t decide which one I liked better. What do you think?
We have had so much fun with the AllTrails app which is so easy to use. We made a loop called Water Views & Forest Loop where you hike along the ponds at Nickerson State Park and then back through the pine forest. It is so beautiful. The map of the hike is at the end of the blog.
You start out hiking along the banks of Cliff Pond and Little Cliff Pond and then head back through the pine forests. It doesn’t get much prettier. You can add photos to the hike too. If you take them with your phone and download them to the app, they will pop up along the trail on the map where you took the photograph. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
It’s been so cold lately here on Cape Cod that there is ice along the shores of Cape Cod Bay. I took this photograph as a panorama from Boat Meadow Beach in Eastham. You can see all the ice in the water.
It’s quite different from the one I posted a couple of weeks ago, but pretty, don’t you think?
