On a Hot Day

Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
 
... fairly toasty today...

 We thought being close to the ocean brings a respite, but no, not this time...
 not a bird in sandy pools of low tide... only Fiddlers,
   small crabs that sense our steps as a danger and quickly retire into their holes as we approach...
  
 and the woods... embracing every breath of breeze in sways, twists, and whirls...
 
     I hear birds chirping in the crowns...  

Wellfleet Bay: ... water lilies in silence...

Wellfleet Bay: ... and the woods... embracing every breath of breeze...

Wellfleet Bay: ... I hear birds in the crowns...

Wellfleet Bay: ... with leaves... so airy...

Wellfleet Bay: ... fairly toasty today... Opuntias do not mind...

Wellfleet Bay: ... neither pioneer Junipers...

Wellfleet Bay: ... not a bird in sight... just a blue thin line of the ocean...

Wellfleet Bay: ... on the other side...

Wellfleet Bay: ... where grasses meet trees...

Wellfleet Bay: ... and the path goes along...

Wellfleet Bay: ... edging the Fresh Brook Bay...

Wellfleet Bay: ... under the shade of Pitch Pines...

Wellfleet Bay: ... and into the world of green...

Wellfleet Bay: ... ending with this epilogue... raises smiles...
