Resident Red-Tailed Hawk At Fort Hill On CapeCod.

We frequently see a Red-tailed Hawk on top of the tall pole as you drive past the first parking lot Fort Hill. He sure has a great vantage point looking for is next meal from way up there. We call it the “Fort Hill Resident Hawk” as there always seems to be one up there!

Spring Azure, One Of Our First Butterflies This Season On Cape Cod.

I saw a little flutter of blue along the trail and was hoping it was one of the early butterflies of the season here on Cape Cod, the Spring Azure. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

It was a Spring Azure and I was in for a treat as it flitted about the trail for quite  a quite while we clicked away. You can see how vivid the blue is when the butterfly has its wings extended, and then how so dramatically different it is when its sings are folded.

Have you ever seen a Spring Azure butterfly? So pretty, don’t you think?

 

Gorgeous Hike On The Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail In Truro On Cape Cod.

If you’ve never hiked the Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail in Truro, put it on your list. It is so pretty and so diverse. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

There are so many different variations of the trail that you can take from the overlook of Ballston Beach to the Cranberry Bog itself to the huge dunes at the end of the trail.

As you can see by the photos, I love climbing the huge dune at the end!
