You know that summer is really here when the Monarch butterflies are back here on Cape Cod. They are so beautiful with their orange and black distinctive colors. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
This is the first Monarch butterfly that I’ve seen so far this summer, yesterday morning at Fort Hill. It landed right on a Milkweed plant which is what they love to feed on.
It was so precious seeing this Northern Flicker mom feeding its two babies at our feeder. The little ones really had no idea what to do at the feeder, so mom brought the seeds to them. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
I loved this perspective of Hemenway Landing and the moored boats through the Wild Rose bushes with a splash of color from the kayaks. So pretty, don’t you think?
