Beautiful Three Masted Ship From Fort Hill In Eastham On Cape Cod
You could see this gorgeous 3 masted ship from Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod. It was just spectacular as it sailed across the ocean in front of Nauset Break and Nauset Beach in the late afternoon.
I could only see it in one little overlook at Fort Hill, so I clicked away.
Beautiful, don’t you think? Reminded me of the olden sailing days and the tall ships…
Purple Climbing Nightshade Wildflower At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
I was taking a hike at Fort Hill the other evening when I saw this little bit of purple out of the corner of my eye. It was on the side of the trail at Fort Hill and pretty hidden in the climbing vines.
But, I was able to take a photograph of it and then look it up in my wildflower book when I got home. It is a Climbing Nightshade wildflower and very delicate and pretty. Its flowers almost look like the Shooting Star wildflowers that I used to see out in Colorado.
The Climbing Nightshade is a climbing vine with purple shooting star shaped flowers with 5 petals which grow in clusters at the end of long stems. The flowers are just 1/2″ to 1″ and bloom from June to August.
This is my first Climbing Nightshade. Have you ever seen one?
