Gray Tree Frog - Cape Cod

Mid-May on cape cod - Last Sunday the sun came out for a while. We got a backyard visitor: A gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor) . It looked just like a rock.

Humpbacks on Stellwagen Bank

I got invited on the Salt Box School whale watch last Thursday. Good thing it was Thursday because the weather has been nasty every other day. Thursday was gorgeous: cool temperatures, but no wind. There were big rolling swells and the whales were everywhere. They were busy feeding on sand lances (or sand eels).

(and finally some sunshine!)

The weather finally broke for Mother's Day. We worked around the back yard. Check out Sophie's curls! The orioles are here too.

Lot's O' Mud

Its Friday night and raining again. 5 out of the last 6 Saturdays have been rainy. With the new construction, we have quite a mudpit going, but at least it's fun for the kids.

Gulls at the Herring Run

Yesterday the herring run was full of gulls trying to get a cheap breakfast. These guys are fighting over one. See more photos on my flickr page.
