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?
We were taking a hike at Fort Hill the other day when we saw a little Vole scampering down the middle of the trail out by the meadow. And then, as quick as anything, this little Weasel darted out of the underbrush and dragged the Vole back in. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
This Weasel smacked the Vole a few times and then came out onto the trail to check us out. We just clicked away.
It was a pretty cool experience as it happened so fast and we had never seen a Weasel at Fort Hill before. Have you?
We were so surprised to see this gorgeous little grove of Lilies of the Valley on the side of the trail at Kent’s Point. It was huge and so pretty! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We must have never hiked there at this time in the spring because I’m sure we wouldn’t have missed them. They are really spectacular! Lilies of the Valley only last a week or two, so you still have a bit of time to see them.
