Bass Hole Boardwalk

Howdee all,

Jeff and I took a trip to Bass Hole boardwalk at Grays beach, Yarmouth with his Mom yesterday.

She remembered walking on the pier and wanted us to see it.

A look below of part of the beach at low tide.

There is a small sandy beach I didn’t get a photo of.

We walked the boardwalk over the marsh.

Stopping to view the Osprey nest.

We were told there were three young in the nest. We saw two.

The marsh..

Patterns at low tide..

Jeff and his mother checking out the crabs..

 

Distant views of a Willet..

View out into the bay..

A nice stroll

We walked back to the beginning of the boardwalk across from the boat dock…

We sat on the benches for a while watching the Osprey and young..

A nice area to relax and enjoy the scene.

I would come here again to catch the sunset…nice westerly views.

A year passes....

Howdee all,

It's been a year...

I miss him.

I Don't have the words...

Just pictures..

He's with his brother Nobbie now

Cape Clamming

Howdee all,

Jeff and I have just a bit over a week here on Cape Cod.

We are trying to fit in as much as we can.

Besides our morning walks, I spend some time sitting on the beach.

Lighthouse beach..

A few days ago we went with Jeff's sister and her family to watch them clam..

There they are..way out there..

 

Teamwork

Rakes with scoops are used to dig..

Sandy likes digging with his hands

Dinner in a bucket..

These will be steamed and served in a Tomato Broth..

See the clam being passed?

Another family clamming..

Fun times..

Cape Cod walks

Howdee all,

Jeff and I are enjoying our stay in Cape Cod

Most every morning we go for a 4.8 mile walk around Chatham.

Below is a peek at my nephew Matthew..he's working this summer at The Chatham Bars Inn.

Hi Matthew :)

No shortage of Hydrangea here...

No shortage of roses either....

Always a lovely walk...

 

I don't bring my binoculars on this walk, but I do look for birds.

flowers everywhere

Makes for a beautiful walk

Here we are..

Howdee all,

Jeff and I decided to spend ten days on Cape Cod with Jeff's family....

So here we are..

Salt water, sand

and plenty of …

Hydrangeas

New Bino Suspender by SWAROVSKI OPTIK

Howdee all,

I want to tell you all about these new Swarovski Bino Suspenders.

 I absolutely love them!

They are extremely comfortable and easy to set up. Check out the video below.

 

 

Besides being comfortable in the field.

What I think is most awesome about these new Suspenders is the quick release.

Have you ever been birding with someone without binoculars and see a bird or anything for that matter that you would like to share with the other person?

If you have then you know how annoying it is to take off the suspenders, especially if you are also carrying a backpack or wearing a coat over the harness.

The quick release locks are wonderful!

In just a few seconds the bins are released..

(notice my ABA stickers?)

And you can share your Binoculars

 

Check out Swarovski Optics website.

OPTIMUM CARRYING COMFORT WITH THE NEW BINO SUSPENDER

Your binoculars are always close to hand thanks to a comfortable solution: The redesigned Bino Suspender takes the strain off the neck area by distributing the weight across the upper body. Your binoculars remain stable, do not swing, and can be removed instantly. Weighing just 110 g, it is extremely light, ergonomic and individually adjustable in size.

Eagle Optics is now carrying them. To be sure ask for the quick release harness.

I don’t know if any other company is offering this type of harness…this is the first I have seen.

I LOVE IT!

Buy this item…You will not regret it!

House Wren and stuff..

Howdee all,

On Fathers Day this little House Wren was starting to make this house its home..

My sister said this was a previous House Sparrows home.

The House Wren decided it was its home now and started removing some of the nesting material.

It was in and out all day..

Singing as it went about is business.

Hope to get some updates from Sicksta Lori.

Lambs ears growing is Sickstas Garden..look how fuzzy and soft the leaves are.

I have been so busy with family and friends here… not much time for internet.

Well, compared to how much I like to be on….I can spend at least four hours a day reading blogs, facebook and twitter.

Lately I am lucky if I get an hour on the internet.

This has been a real bummer for me, but I am dealing with it..

Sort of…
