Today is just an absolutely gorgeous day on Cape Cod, the home of Ray’s Ramblings. This is a temporary blog until I have my website set up properly. I will then use the WordPress application designed for websites and I will display this as a link on the site.
Early last month, I participated in the 2006 Schuylkill River Sojourn with several friends. One of the most exciting parts of the trip was a place they call Kelly’s of the participants in the Sojourn was taking video pictures with his camera and captured this movie of me
Last week I went Kayaking in Follins Pond, which most people think is the source of Bass River. Being the adventurous types we are, we went up a small creek that eventually led us to a small tunnel going under North Dennis Road. Much to my surprise, this was the place that I would go crabbing with my father and brother’s when we were kids. I did not realize this at first as the perspective from the water is much different than from land and, in reality, it has been many years since I have been there. I will post more on this later, but after we went through the tunnel, we came eventually to Mill Pond. I had never realized there was a pond this size up the creek from the crabbing site. We paddled to the end of Mill Pond where I took several pictures of Osprey and their offspring in a nest. A bit later, Dick Roy located a nest of Swan’s eggs up a small inlet to the pond. We figured that the eggs had been abandoned for some reason.
