It doesn’t get much prettier than this at Fort Hill. It was a gorgeous day. We’ve had so much rain lately that everything is green and lush.
I took this photograph from the trailhead at the lower parking lot. Beautiful scenery, don’t you think?
The Blue Eyed Grass at Fort Hill is just beautiful. It is a member of the Iris family, and is not a grass at all. It is native to North America and forms clumps of slender long foliage, resembling grass, and is topped in spring with small pointed periwinkle flowers.
Have you ever seen Blue-Eyed Grass?
I saw this pretty little Eastern Tailed Blue Butterfly while we were hiking at Fort Hill the other day. It is a small blue butterfly with a wingspan of 3/4-1″. Above it is blue with a darker border and underneath it is gray with black spots and a little orange patch.
So pretty and delicate, don’t you think? Have you ever seen one?
