This was such a pretty photograph of this one boat on the quiet river in Orleans on Cape Cod. So I decided to play around editing it on my iPhone.
Which photograph do you like best?
The waist-high ropes are up and the yellow signs are up along The National Seashore on Cape Cod so that people are aware of the birds nesting on the beach and in the beach grass.
The Piping Plover, Common Tern and Least Tern are shorebirds that nest along coastal sand and gravel beaches in North America. They are difficult to see as they blend in with the sandy beach habitat. Their nests are made on the sand and are also difficult to see.
I’m sure you will see some of these roped off areas this spring if you area walking the National Seashore on Cape Cod. If you stop and look beyond the ropes you might see some of the shorebirds nesting on the beach.
The abundant Mountain Laurel wildflowers on Cape Cod are starting to bud. They must be a native shrub as you can find them everywhere.
I saw this Mountain Laurel as I was taking a walk a few days ago. I loved the little buds starting to emerge.
Did you know that Mountain Laurel is a flowering evergreen shrub in the heather family which blooms in May and June from Maine to Florida?
