We were hiking along the trail when Phil stopped to look at something on the side of the trail. I had totally missed it! There, camouflaged by the leaves, was a toad perfectly hidden in the leaves. Can you see it?

You can see Red Squirrels on just about any trail  around here on the Cape. This little guy was playing hide and seek on the White Cedar Swamp Trail in Wellfleet. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

Cute, little guy!

It’s that time of year when everything is blooming and the trails at Fort Hill are lush. My favorite hike there is the Red Maple Swamp Trail which takes you down to the boardwalk. Have you ever hiked it?

Cabbage White Butterflies On Cape Cod.

I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of Cabbage White butterflies here on Cape Cod. They seem to be everywhere. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

I never knew the difference between the male and female until I did a bit of research. The female has 2 black spots on her wings, while the male has only one spot. Hmmmm… I would’ve thought it was the opposite!

Hiking Little Cliff Pond At Nickerson State Park On Cape Cod.

The hike around Little Cliff Pond has so much diversity. You pass by Cliff Pond, which is pretty spectacular, where you can see people enjoying swimming, fishing, boating, or just enjoying their day at the beach. (Click on blog link for other photos.)


From there, you hike up and around Little Cliff Pond where you have a view of the pond almost the entire way. It is so pretty and quiet hiking through the woods.

Have you ever hiked at Nickerson State Park?

The Lesser Stitchwort is a tiny, delicate wildflower not bigger than a dime. It is so pretty with its pink pistils. They are all along the edge of the trails at Fort Hill and will bloom way in to the summer, so you have plenty of time to see them… if you look very closely!

Stunning Bald Eagle On Cape Cod.

We had just started out on a hike when I looked up and saw this gorgeous Bald Eagle soaring above. Wow! ( Click on blog link for other photos.)

I’ve only seen a couple of them on Cape Cod, so this was a big treat! As we hiked around the pond, I was hoping to see it again. And there it was, way up high in the tree, overlooking the pond.

You can see how far away he was in the last photo which I took from across the pond. If you look very closely at the tallest tree to the right, you can see his silhouette. So cool!
