The little white Starflowers are so pretty at Wiley Parkin Eastham on Cape Cod. You can see them on the side of the trail, usually under a pine tree in the shade.
They are delicate little flowers ( 1/2 to 3/4″) which grow with one or two flowers on the stem. Each flower has 5-9 pointed petals and 7 long yellow stamens.
They bloom in May and June so you can still get out and see them. Have you ever seen a Starflower?
I saw this tiny, little white Mouse-Ear Chickweed wildflower along the trail while hiking at at Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod. It looks the same as the Mouse-Ear Chickweed in Colorado.
The plant grows to about 6-12″ with 1/2 inch flowers from May to September. I especially like the little white ring of pistils in the center. So pretty and delicate.

I saw these 2 pretty snail shells on one of the trails at Fort Hill the other day. I thought perhaps a bird had dropped them there after eating them for lunch. Their coloring was very distinctive.
A few days later I saw some more of these shells and then they started moving! I then realized that they were indeed snail shells with the snails still inside!
