Yesterday morning was pretty chilly at Fort Hill. The wind was howling and you could feel the car shake. I took this photograph through the window as I didn’t want to get out of the warm car. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see the temps and wind chill in the 2nd photo. Brrrr…
This was such a pretty view looking out over Nauset Marsh toward Coast Guard Station from Fort Hill. You can see the sun trying to peek out above the clouds.
We were having our picnic breakfast at Fort Hill the other morning when I saw the sun reflecting on Nauset Marsh in the foreground and the ocean in the background. I thought it was so pretty. What do you think?
You can still see the beautiful deep blue Chicory wildflowers blooming along the roads, trails and out in the meadows. I took this photograph at Fort Hill.
A couple of interesting facts: The stemless flowers grow right on the stalk and each flower lasts only one day. I love the delicate stamen and pistils in the center.
Chicory blooms through October so you still have time to see it.
We were surprised to wake up to rain falling last Saturday morning, but decided to take a ride up to Fort Hill anyway. Three kayakers paddled by, unscathed by the cool, rainy weather. That sure is dedication!
All of a sudden the sun peeked out for just a minute, so Phil and I clicked away. He took a black and white photograph and I took one in color. What do you think?
