The Hydrangeas are still blooming here on Cape Cod. This pink one was so pretty on the side of the road.
Hydrangeas are such a popular flower on the Cape…I can see why!
There are still plenty of Cabbage White butterflies flitting about this fall on Cape Cod, especially near the marshes.
We saw these two butterflies at Nauset Marsh the other day. I wasn’t sure why one had 1 spot and the other had 2 spots, only to learn later that the female has 2 spots.
They loved the yellow wildflowers growing in the marsh.
One of the trails in the Pamet Trail Area in North Truro on Cape Cod goes to a stunning overlook where, during a winter storm in 2013, the Atlantic Ocean breached the huge sand dunes on Ballston Beach and sent surging waves up the Pamet River all the way to Route 6. It is unbelievable how the coastline changed during that winter storm.
You can see in this photograph how powerful the breach was that winter day as it broke through the dunes.
Pamet Trail is great hike and worth the effort to see these spectacular views. A hike for the whole family!
