The sun set about 10 minutes before this picture and was still lighting up the clouds and adding a glow to a tree on the far shore of Oyster Pond. Another magnificent sky saying goodnight to the sun.
I was driving home when I spotted this beauty and pulled onto the road that leads to the Eastward Ho Golf Course.
Do you think there is a pot of gold over there? Even if there is, it could not be worth more then my good fortune of living this beautiful place.
I had hoped to watch the sun rise this morning, but when I checked outside the sky was totally overcast so I did not rush down to the Lighthouse with the camera. But Sunday would not be the same if I did not take a mug of coffee and go down to the Lighthouse, so went a couple of hours after sunrise and was treated to an incredibly beautiful view. While all of Chatham seemed to be under a heavy cloud cover, there was a break in the clouds offshore that allowed the rays of the sun to shine through and for the sun itself to reflect on the water. How lucky I feel when I am treated to such magnificent view, knowing I live in a place where there is something beautiful to enjoy every single day.

During migration seasons, it is not unusual to observe several different kinds of hawks in the area. One sure sign of a visiting hawk is the sudden flight of every small bird taking off simultaneously from the feeders, from the birdbath and from the ground. A few days ago, after watching the hurried, sudden departure all the birds at Chatham Gardens I was able to find the cause of the activity in a nearby tree. This Cooper's Hawk was hunting from a perch high above the ground.
