American Painted Lady Butterfly On Cape Cod!

Phil and I were sitting on a bench by Rock Harbor, enjoying the spectacular day and the gorgeous views. Right in front of us, an American Painted Lady butterfly landed on a yellow flower. I clicked away thinking it was a Painted Lady butterfly. (Click on Blog link to see other photo.)

It wasn’t until I got home and looked at it on my computer that I realized it was an American Painted Lady. You can tell the difference by the 2 blue spots on each of its hind wings. You can see them inthe fist photograph. Very pretty.

The 2nd photograph shows you the distinct difference in its upper side and underside. Quite a bit of camouflage when its wings are closed!

Have you ever seen an American Painted Lady butterfly?

Gorgeous White Wildflower At Fort Hill On Cape Cod!

I had been watching this bud on the side of the trail at Fort Hill for a few days, taking a photograph of it every couple of days. I had no idea what it was, or even if it was a wildflower. The bud caught my attention; it was so pretty. (Click Blog link to see sequence of bud blooming.)

It finally bloomed and it is gorgeous! But I have no idea what it is. I cannot find it in any of my books or apps. Can anyone help me identify it?

Exquisite, don’t you think? Love the sequence of watching it bloom.

Sunday Was A Perfect Beach Day At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod!

Sunday was a perfect beach day at Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore,  on Cape Cod! The weather was sunny and warm with a little breeze. The trolley was running nonstop bringing people to the beach as they were soaking up the beginning of a beautiful holiday week on Cape Cod!

Looks pretty inviting, huh?

Baby Red-Bellied Woodpecker Getting Fed In Our Yard On Cape Cod!

I knew there was a family of Red-bellied Woodpeckers living in the tree on the edge of our lot. I hadn’t seen any of the babies yet, but knew there were some in there.

And then mom and one baby flew down to get a bite to eat in our yard. Mom was getting seed off of the ground and feeding the little one, who looks almost as big as her!  It was almost dusk, so the lighting was not the best.

So cute, don’t you think?
