I was so lucky to see this gorgeous Monarch butterfly flitting about the Milkweed flowers at Fort Hill the other day. I hadn’t seen one in so long. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

Its colors were just magnificent! Have you seen many Monarch butterflies lately?

Indian Pipe Wildflowers Are Blooming In Provincetown.

1 Comment

The unique Indian Pipe wildflowers are blooming all along the Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown. They are such an interesting wildflower. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

Indian Pipe, a whitish, waxy, scaly wildflower with nodding bell-shaped flowers, is a plant with no chlorophyll which is why it is not green. It gets its nutrients from decaying matter. The flowers are about 1″ while the plant grows from 4-10 inches in the rich woods.

Have you ever seen an Indian Pipe wildflower? Such an interesting wildflower…

Beautiful Killdeer At One Of The Tidal Ponds On Cape Cod.

I haven’t seen a Killdeer on Cape Cod in a long, long time, so this was such a treat when I saw a bird with a distinct striped neck by the little tidal pond. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

I clicked away and then put it on my iBird PRO Sleuth App and knew it was indeed a Killdeer. And then, when I got home and put it on my computer, I realized that there were two of them!
