The Boardwalk At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

The boardwalk on the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill is lush with plants and wildflowers. The ferns along the boardwalk are growing and beautiful, as well as the tiny Canada Mayflowers that resemble little bottle brushes. Have you walked there lately?

The Monarch Butterflies Are Back At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

The Monarch butterflies are back on Cape Cod and they are gorgeous! We’ve seen quite a few at Fort Hill in the past couple of days.

This Monarch flitted from flower to flower right near us so we were able to get some good photographs. The Milkweed isn’t in bloom yet, but they seemed to really like the purple Vetch wildflower.

Have you seen any Monarchs yet this season? What a treat!

Pretty Pink Lady Slipper Wildflowers Are Blooming On The Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown.

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…
