And it's especially spectacular through your lens, Tom! Many (many) years ago, soon after it was created, my wife and hiked a portion of the Shawnee Backpack Trail. It was May--I remember vividly because all the dogwoods were in full bloom--but we didn't enjoy the trail; it was like walking on a roller-coaster, up one ridge and down into the next hollow, over and over and over again. It's nicer to see it through your eyes.
These are all gorgeous! I especially like the last two.

ReplyDeleteJust lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat you everyone!
ReplyDeleteNumber one is Hypoxis hirsuta, and the fern, I don't know- the most common species along the roads at Shawnee seemed to be interrupted fern.
