It is becoming more difficult to keep up with posting when there is so much exploring going on! There have been two short trips so far this week.
Monday, on a brief fishing trip to one of my favorite streams, I took a few wildflower photos, got a shot of a butterfly, made a few casts and was rained out. Usually, rain doesn’t bother me, but along with it this time were lightning bolts that came straight down and some pretty strong wind gusts, as so often happens in that area.
Here’s what a short section of the stream looks like. It’s full of small Brook Trout and they can be a lot of fun to catch with surface flies!
In a marshy area next to the water I found these guys, who apparently think it’s a black and white world.
This is, I think, a cluster of Western Groundsel:
I would guess this is a bouquet of Forget-me-nots.
For me, bringing back the following photo of a Cinquefoil made this trip worthwhile.
