You can see Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod, which is one of the Top 10 Beaches in the USA, through the bushes by the Coast Guard Station. It is part of the National Seashore and truly one of the prettiest beaches you will ever see.
I took one of my friends for a walk there and she commented to me, “Now I remember! This was my very favorite beach on Cape Cod!”
If you haven’t visited Coast Guard Beach, put it on your Bucket List! It is pristine and goes on for miles!
It was a gorgeous day at the Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod. We were ready for a nice walk and maybe a few bird photographs. We were treated to an array of many different wildlife photographs. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing.
This is one of our favorite’s! The mighty Kingfisher landed on the log out in the middle of Goose Pond and then something scared all of the birds nearby. They flew just as Phil was clicking away.
Pretty cool, don’t you think?
The Wild Saltspray Rose is one of my favorite wildflowers. It reminds that it is summer and a ‘somewhat” carefree time of the year. We had a lot of Wild Roses on the beach where I grew up in Connecticut too.
After the Wild Rose blooms, the flower will turn into a huge reddish-orange berry known as a Rosehip. Many people will pick these berries and make jelly out of them.
Have you ever had Rosehip Jelly?
When I saw this pretty blue Creeping Bellflower at Fort Hill on Cape Cod, it reminded me of a Parry’s Harebell wildflower out in Colorado. They look so similar, although this one is a bit larger.
The Creeping Bellflower has 5-petaled 1 to 1 1/2″ bell-shaped flowers that hang on one side of a tall stiff stalk. They spread by creeping or rooting. The plant grows from 1-3 feet tall from July to September on fields and roadsides, so you should be able to find one.
Have you ever seen a Creeping Bellflower?
