It's as if the forest knew I had been longing to see her. She put on quite a show for me.
This underpass always makes me think of the Hobbit.
Everything smelled so fresh and green.
Looks like this White Admiral (Limenitis arthemis) had a lucky escape
Unfortunately this little guy did not.
Look at those incredible digging hands! I think this is Parascalops breweri, the Hairy-tailed mole. I wonder what happened to it? I could not see any obvious signs of injury.
Some sort of Fleabane.
Hello Daddy Longlegs.
I was so excited to see this White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) that I didn't think to switch the camera to auto-zoom. This was the best pic in the bunch.
Maidenhair fern, Andiantum pedatum, one of my favourite woodland plants
Rubus odoratus, Purple-flowered raspberry.
Anemone virginiana, Thimbleweed.
??? (note to self: buy a mushroom identification guide!)
What's this odd creature? I think it's the rare Coco knittyii.
That was SO refreshing!
Ok now, back to my to-do list.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, and what a perfect way to spend a morning aside from the poor wee mole).
ReplyDeleteGlad that you're on the mend -- sounds like a frustrating patch. I'm so jealous of the Iceland trip. A knitter's dream!
