Wildflower Bouquet

All photos taken on July 26, 2022, during our walk in Bunchberry Meadows. Each time we walk here in late spring and summer, the wildflowers blow us away. Today was no exception. In our two week absence, there was a changing of the guard. Marsh Marigolds were long gone and Common Fleabane flowers were thick

Walk on the Wild Side

All photos taken on July 11, 2022. This was our 50th walk in Bunchberry since February 18, 2021. How can we walk so often in one place without getting bored?

Photos taken on July 8 and 10, 2022. This idea started out with me out in the backyard, taking photos of the sunlit petals of my Mock Orange shrubs. They are always so glorious at this time of year and their beautiful citrus scent fills the air. Not satisfied with staying at home or with

That Will Leave a Mark

All photos taken on June 27, 2022. Weekly walk time and I felt like it was time to wander Prospector’s Point, Devonian and River View Trails to see what they looked like all dressed for summer. We planned to only walk down and back up one set of 208 stairs, so hiking poles were required
