The pretty pink Lady Slippers are in full bloom on the Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown. You can see them all along the sides of the trail. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
They are called Lady Slippers because the pouch-like structure formed by their petals resembles a lady’s slipper or shoe. So pretty and so delicate…
It was fun watching all of the Red Squirrels running around the woods on the Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I loved the photo of the squirrel eating the buds on the top of the tree and then, another one of the squirrel scurrying around on the dead logs. It’s a great place to see wildlife and birds.
There have been many new improvements along the trails at Kent’s Point in Orleans in the past few months and it really looks nice. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see there have been many split rail fences installed along the trails. This will keep both dogs and people on the designated trails. There are also new wood chips along the trails where it used to get so muddy.
Thanks to all those who helped install all these new fences and scatter the wood chips. The trails look so well cared for.
If you’re hiking the main trails at Fort Hill and look down very carefully, you may see a tiny, little purple wildflower that is no more than 1/8 inch in diameter. It is itty, bitty and easy to miss… or step on. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
The Red Sand Spurrey thrives in sandy, disturbed soil. This is a first for me. Have you ever seen one?
