Finding flora

Blue sky was unexpected, so we seized the day. Though my camera is still in the shop, the cell phone worked to capture some memories.

We were hoping to see some early ferns and wildflowers, and we weren’t disappointed.

The May apples had formed buds since last week:

The high point of the walk was the waterfall and old stone bridge.

That tree on the bank is always striking to me. It looks like it’s tip-toeing down to go wading.

The walk back yielded some artistic moss etchings on rocks…

As well as more ferns, more moss, and a tiny toad.

On the whole it was a thoroughly enjoyable expedition with sights from small…

…to tall.
