I happened to look out the window the other day when it was just about dusk and saw these two Doves in my bird bath. The lighting on one of them was just beautiful.
By the time I ran into the other room to show Phil, the sun had gone down.
Pretty photograph, don’t you think? It was really cool to see them there with the snow all around the rim. We have a heater in there so the birds can get a drink or take a bath all through the winter!
The tide at Boat Meadow Creek in Eastham was exceptionally high a few days ago. Usually Boat Meadow Creek is a little creek that meanders through the salt marsh. At high tide, sometimes the creek might go over its banks a bit.
This day was exceptionally high with the entire salt marsh looking like a continuation of Cape Cod Bay.
Pretty, don’t you think?
I heard a little rustle in the leaves at Wiley Park and saw this little mouse scurry up the tree and out onto a branch. This is the first mouse I have seen there. I’ve heard rustling in the leaves many times but always thought it must be a bird. Maybe it was a mouse?
So, I took some photographs up on the branch and then in the leaves below and came home to research what kind of mouse it was. I presumed it was a “Field Mouse.” Well, there are so many different types of mice, I have no idea what kind it is.
Can anyone identify this little guy? Cute, isn’t he?
It was a cold and windy early morning at Nauset Beach on Cape Cod, but a glorious day to take a walk. Any day is a glorious day to take a walk on Nauset Beach, or any beach on the National Seashore.
The sun had just gone behind the clouds so it looks almost like dusk.
I loved the wind blowing the spume from the waves.
What do you think?
