Queen Anne’s Lace are such pretty wildflowers. The small, clustered flowers form a lacy, flat-topped head that look like a piece of lace… thus, the name Queen Anne’s Lace. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
When they have bloomed and are going to seed in the late summer, they are also called a “bird’s nest” as they fold up and look just like a birds nest.
They bloom from July through September, so you should still have time to see them.
Fort Hill is one of our favorite places to take a hike. You can hike short, long, sunny, shady… just about anything on the trail. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Here are a couple of photographs of a sunny and shady trail. Both are just spectacular! Have you ever hiked at Fort Hill? #eastham
We haven’t seen many butterflies this summer so it was a huge treat to see this Tiger Swallowtail flitting about the yard. It was just gorgeous! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I love to walk the streets in Provincetown before the crowds emerge. You can see it ready to come alive! And then when the place is hopping and full of so many people… what fun!
I’ve been looking for the Northern Bobwhite at Fort Hill all summer. I’ve heard his call of “Bob-white, bob-white,” but I haven’t been able to find him.
And then we drove up the road one morning last week and there he was… walking down the road. I was able to get a couple of photographs before he ran into the high grass.
Have you seen the Bobwhite at Fort Hill this summer? #eastham #forthill
