It was such a treat to see the beautiful Monarch butterflies flitting from flower to flower at Fort Hill. I had been waiting for them to come back from their long migration from Mexico.
The Monarch butterfly has often been called the most beautiful and majestic of butterflies and you can tell just by looking at its coloring and patterns. It feeds on Milkweed which Fort Hill has a lot to offer.
Have you seen a Monarch butterfly this year yet? Gorgeous, don’t you think?
Sunset over Newport Harbor on July 4th was just spectacular!
Our friends who have a home in Newport had invited us to Newport to watch the fireworks and to spend couple of days with them. It was such fun! We went sailing and swimming and walking the Cliff Walk and just enjoying Newport and their company immensely.
This photograph of the sunset sums it all up… just beautiful! I love all of the boats in the harbor all settled down for the night.
This was another gorgeous day to photograph Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, looking south toward Chatham. The lifeguard chairs are out and the beach looks pretty big for summer vacationers to enjoy. You can still see the roped off area for the Piping Plovers and Least Terns to nest.
Beautiful, don’t you think?
Truro has a wonderful vineyard here on Cape Cod called Truro Vineyards. You can see the grapes growing in the photograph. They should be ready by fall. It is also a fun place to visit with their wine tasting, unique gift shop and lots of picnic tables outside.
It is such a pretty place to visit. Have you ever been to Truro Vineyard?
