There is still a lot of Honeysuckle blooming at FortHill. It has been such a warm fall heron Cape Cod. I walked home from the beach the other day and counted 7 different species of wildflowers that were still blooming. Amazing for the end of October!
It was a beautiful day to hike around Kent’s Point in Orleans on Cape Cod. There are several trails along the beach and through the woods. And there are many places to sit, relax and enjoy the glorious day! If you’re in Orleans, it’s a great place to visit for the whole family!
There are still quite a few butterflies flying around here on Cape Cod. I saw this Clouded Sulfur butterfly at Fort Hill, feeding on a Knapweed wildflower. I also saw many Cabbage White butterflies, some Painted Lady butterflies and one Monarch butterfly. I thought the Monarchs had migrated down to Mexico a few weeks ago.
It must be the warm weather and that the wildflowers are still blooming that is keeping them all around.
The paddleboarders are still out and this one was particularly enjoying her paddle around Nauset Marsh. It was a glorious day in the high 60s, before all of the rains came.
What a beautiful place to paddleboard, calm and serene. Love the sun on the water…
