This is a rather brief sample from today’s hike into the Cherry Peak roadless area ( 3 out of 45 pictures taken).
The flora:
I probably have enough pictures of the Lady’s Slipper, but this one posed so nicely today I had to add one more.
The fauna:
If this little fellow had chosen to perch in among some old leaves, or on the dark bark of, say, a Tamarak, he would not have been noticed. I saw several today, and the top surfaces of their wings are bright orange, but when they light, they keep the wings together to take advantage of their camouflage.
The peaks:
It’s my contention that mountains are best viewed, not from the valleys, but from high places, and this photo illustrates why it’s worth it to me to hike five miles to get to where I could take it.
