“Porcelain-berry is a deciduous, perennial, woody vine from Asia that can grow 10 to 15 feet a year. A relative of our native grapes, porcelain-berry produces distinctive fruits in late summer and early fall that change from lilac or green to bright blue.”
The weather this week has been unbelievable here on the Cape with sunny skies and temperatures in the high 60s and low 70s. Unbelievable! (Click on blog link for more photos.)
The vibrant fall colors have been so pretty, especially along the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill.
I love an early morning walk before anyone else is around. It doesn’t get much prettier!
It was a gorgeous day to take a hike by the Salt Pond, mostly sunny and warm with a little breeze. We were so surprised when we got to the trail at how high the tide was. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
We stood there and debated for a bit as we had tried to hike it before at high tide. But there was a couple in front of us of us who were walking along the edge and they didn’t seem to be getting wet, so we decided to brave it too.
There were a couple of spots where you were walking in a bit of water, but for the most part, you could inch along the side until you got to some dry ground. Such a beautiful hike… and always a fun adventure!
