Cape May NJ

  I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday 

May 4th....Happy 24th Anniversary to my hubby!

Hubby and I celebrated our 24th anniversary a little early, we headed to Cape May & Atlantic City NJ on Thursday for an overnight getaway.. We had a great time walking around the Cape May beach near the lighthouse and on the trails..





A foggy lighthouse scene and some scenic views from the park trails and a Yellow Warbler.






 A pretty male Yellow Warbler singing..



 

Above one of many Yellow Rump Warblers, Brown thrasher, Eastern Kingbird, Mute Swan, turtle, Cardinal, Chipping Sparrow and Mallard Ducks.





 

We saw a lot of the Yellow Rump Warblers in Cape May.





Above is a cute Piping Plover and an American Oystercatcher and some Sanderlings on the beach.







The fog and misty weather was clear before we left the Cape May Lighthouse Park. Hubby and I joke about how the weather always clears up whenever I go on a trip.. Cape May was just the start of our getaway, I will have more photos to share later in the week. Thanks for stopping by and for the comments.


Join in on the fun and for more wonderful photos please visit  Mosaic Monday and more

SWF>>>>Cape May, New Jersey

I am linking up my Cape May skies with Skywatch Friday.  I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July holiday.

You can click on the individual photos for a larger image. 

These are from our most recent Cape May and the Jersey shore trip. It was a beautiful day with a gorgeous sky and weather. One of our favorite spots in Cape May is the Cape May Lighthouse beach.


 
There is a boardwalk that meanders thru the Cape May park.  Cape May is a great place for birding. There are always great birds to see in Cape May. The sky was a beautiful blue and not a cloud in the sky.


 Not sure what this plant is, it looks very similar to the Queen Anne's Lace. I liked this shot with the pretty white flower against the very blue sky.

Looking into the sun, I found a juvie Oriole along the boardwalk trail.


Right next to the juvie Oriole, we saw this Common Yellowthroat Warbler.


At one of the viewing sections of the boardwalk we were able to watch this Green Heron hunting for food.

The Lighthouse Beach Park looked mostly empty but there were some other people there.


 One of my favorite views of the Cape May Lighthouse.

I hope you enjoyed my Cape May Skywatch. To see more beautiful skies from

Happy Monday!

W ishing everyone a great day and a happy new week! "One of the great things about National Parks is they belong to everyone." Oba...
