The wheelchair accessible blue mats are gone at Coast Guard Beach for the winter. These mats are wonderful in the summer as they provide a non-slippery access mat so that people with disabilities can enjoy the beach.

The Highland Light In Truro On Cape Cod
“The Highland Light (previously known as Cape Cod Light) is an active lighthouse on the Cape Cod National Seashore in North Truro. The current tower was erected in 1857, replacing two earlier towers that had been built in 1797 and 1831. It is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod.“
Highland Light is such a beautiful lighthouse. Have you ever been there?

Porcelain Berry Is Everywhere On Cape Cod This Fall.
“Porcelain-berry is a deciduous, perennial, woody vine from Asia that can grow 10 to 15 feet a year. A relative of our native grapes, porcelain-berry produces distinctive fruits in late summer and early fall that change from lilac or green to bright blue.”
A bit of folklore:
“In folk medicine, the roots and stems of porcelain berry have been used as an anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and anti-hepatotoxic agent.”
Have you seen any Porcelain Berry this fall? I took this photograph near the parking lot at Fort Hill.
