Walking Fort Hill

is always a great way to spend part of a day....

This past weekend was so beautiful I'm sure you could see pictures from just about any Cape location that would make you sigh...

Layers of textures and colors abounded...

with the last blossoms of rosa rugosa against the seedheads of the phragmites--funny how we love the one invasive and hate the other....

here's a close up of one of those blossoms...

The marsh still holds more green than gold...

and even though Irene took so many of our leaves before they turned color there are still splashes of red to be seen....

and there are still butterflies about....

Lots of gulls and shorebirds feeding....

Just a beautiful, beautiful Cape Cod day....
