I have seen this Red-tailed Hawk sitting on the No Parking on Bridge Sign in Eastham on Cape Cod many times. He must see a lot of little critters that would be wonderful prey from this perch.
I see him there so much that sometimes I even forget to look for him there. It is someone else taking a photograph that reminds me that he loves to sit there.
I was clicking away when this man walked up with a huge camera, wanting to know what kind of bird it was. He didn’t even get to take one photograph as he got too close and the hawk flew away.
Have you ever seen this Red-tailed Hawk on the No Parking Sign?
It was a spectacular day for a hike at Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod. I loved this photograph of the trees along the trail. There are so many places to walk or hike at Fort Hill, which is a part of the National Seashore.
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.
Seabury Surf Gifts in Wellfleet on Cape Cod will certainly catch your eye as you drive by on Route 6. It has everything! From inflatables to t-shirts and sweatshirts and souvenirs and beach toys and beach chairs and umbrellas and surfing gear … just about anything you can imagine!
It is just a fun place to go inside and look around! I’m sure you will find something that you like! I sure did!
We have so many beautiful Baltimore Orioles living in our yard here on Cape Cod. They are such a vibrant colored bird and so pretty. They love to eat the grape jelly which I seem to replenish twice a day lately.
This guy caught my eye against the blue sky up in the tree in our backyard.
