I get very nostalgic whenever I see Oriental Bittersweet vines with bright orange berries growing along the trails at Fort Hill. When I was little, my mother would take us out and gather the long vines which she would weave into a gorgeous fall wreath for our door.
Oriental Bittersweet has a twining woody vine with tiny green flowers which grow into clusters of showy bright orange-scarlet berries with yellow leaves.
Have you ever seen an Oriental Bittersweet? The berries are exquisite!
Wiley Park is one of my favorite places to hike here on Cape Cod. It is so pretty with 2 kettle ponds within view. It is especially nice when it is chilly outside or when the wind is blowing as it is very sheltered.
This is the bridge that connects the trail over the 2 kettle ponds. I really like how it looks. What do you think?
I love watch the birds stop at our bird baths, either for a drink or to take a bath. They seem to congregate there. This Northern Flicker stopped by our little bird bath for a drink.
