Daisies are one of my favorite flowers. I saw this one blooming at Fort Hill last week… so pretty.
I even planted a few of them in my yard. So simple and so beautiful.

“Bobwhite In Flight” At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
I was at Fort Hill looking for some butterflies and wildflowers when I saw these two birds come out from the woods onto the trail. It was a good thing I had my camera out and ready because I only got one shot and this is it.
There used to be many Bobwhites in the state but they have dwindled over the years. There are still at least two at Fort Hill!
Pretty cool, don’t you think?
The Colorful Monarch Butterflies Are Back At Fort Hill On Cape Cod!
It was such a treat to see the beautiful Monarch butterflies flitting from flower to flower at Fort Hill. I had been waiting for them to come back from their long migration from Mexico.
The Monarch butterfly has often been called the most beautiful and majestic of butterflies and you can tell just by looking at its coloring and patterns. It feeds on Milkweed which Fort Hill has a lot to offer.
Have you seen a Monarch butterfly this year yet? Gorgeous, don’t you think?
Bladder Campion Wildflowers At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
Bladder Campion wildflowers are abundant along the trails at Fort Hill. I loved this photograph where you can see the “bladder” so clearly. The 3/4″ white, lobed flowers bloom at night and on overcast days.
The Bladder Campions bloom from June through September, so you still have plenty of time to see them. Interesting wildflower, don’t you think?
Spectacular Day For Kayaking Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod
It was a glorious day… sunny with little wind and a perfect day to take our kayaks out on the water. We launched at Good Hummock in Orleans and paddled Town Cove to Nauset Marsh and then out along the outer beach to Nauset Spit. It couldn’t get any prettier!
We stopped for a bit to rest and had some lunch. There were a lot of boats in the water and many kayakers enjoying the day. We took a different route back and paddled in through Nauset Marsh, going by Fort Hill and Hemenway Landing. So beautiful…
It was definitely a “pinch me” day! 🙂
