These little, bright orange Jewelweed wildflowers are tubular spotted flowers that dangle like pendants from a branch. (Click on blog link for 2nd photograph.)
Their flowers are only 1″ and bloom in shady areas from July through September, so you don’t have much more time to see them. I saw these on the trails at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail is a wonderful trail to hike alone or with the whole family. There is so much to see! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
“The Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trails a short and unique loop hike that even kids might like. That’s because the big attraction is a very cool boardwalk that winds through what the National Park Service calls ‘an isolated remnant of an ecosystem created after the last ice age, and normally found in mid-Canada or further north.'”

Nickerson State Park in Brewster is a fun place to hike during any season. We usually hike there when the crowds have gone home and there aren’t too many people on the trails. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
But it was a beautiful day and somewhat cooler than our hot summer… the perfect day for a hike in the cool woods at Nickerson. #nickersonstatepark #brewster #hiking #trails
