There is a lot of Watercress wildflowers starting to bloom along the trails at Fort Hill, especially down by the water. Watercress have tiny white flowers with 4 petals. They are so delicate and pretty.
Have you ever seen a Watercress wildflower?

Pretty Eastern Tailed Blue Butterfly At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
I saw this pretty little Eastern Tailed Blue Butterfly while we were hiking at Fort Hill the other day. It is a small blue butterfly with a wingspan of 3/4-1″. Above it is blue with a darker border and underneath it is gray with black spots and a little orange patch.
So pretty and delicate, don’t you think? Have you ever seen one?
Nauset Marsh From Fort Hill Was So Pretty!
Repairing The Boardwalk On Red Maple Swamp Trail At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
The National Seashore workers have started Phase II of repairing the boardwalk on the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill. After years of constant use and stormy winters, many of the boards need to be replaced.
You can still hike the trail from beginning to end as they are working on the offshoot of the trail. It is one of our favorite trails as it has so much to see. You hike in the woods, across a long boardwalk, along the marsh, through the fields and back up to the overlook, which doesn’t get much prettier.
Thank you, National Seashore, for all that you do to make the trails so beautiful for all of us to enjoy.
