We took this black and white photograph of the boardwalk on Red Maple Swamp Trail the same time we took the photograph of the Fort Hill Trail yesterday.
It’s really cool how you walk on the boardwalk over the swamp on the trail. This time of year it is pretty wet and definitely swampy!
It’s another cool hike at Fort Hill! Kids love it!
It was a beautiful day to be out for a hike at Fort Hill, on the National Seashore on Cape Cod. The lighting was so pretty.
We decided to explore the Red Maple Swamp Trail, which has been partly closed for years. We ran into some National Park workers and they said that it should be open again. by summer. That will be awesome because you can do a loop through the woods, across the boardwalk and then back up to the meadows. It is really pretty!
Have you ever been to Fort Hill?
I was just finishing a little hike at Fort Hill which overlooks Nauset Marsh when I saw this seagull posing on the fence post with Nauset Marsh and the Coast Guard Station in the background. He stayed there for quite a while, changing his pose periodically.
I couldn’t decide which one I liked better… the one where he is looking straight at me (which is the first one I took) or the one that shows his silhouette.
Which one do you like better?
We were taking a short hike at Fort Hill on the National Seashore the other day when I saw a lot of commotion out at Nauset Break. I didn’t have my binoculars with me so I zoomed in with my camera and took a few photographs.
When I got home I could see that there were hundreds of birds flying about out there as well as resting on the beaches. I wonder if there was an abundance of fish out there that they were feeding on or why they were there?
Any ideas?
