I got off to a late start today.
So let's take a mid-morning stroll.
Butter and Eggs or Yellow Toadflax (naria vulgaris)
Chickory

Acorn have started to fall.
Lots more up in the trees.
Oak Galls
Sword Fern
The Ash are among the first trees to change color.
Hard to beat Vine Maple for color.
All thick grass down at the edge of the Big Creek.
Snowberries
Bitter Cherry
Bracken Fern
Cascara
...and more Cascara.
I saw several birds including a Downy Woodpecker, Black-capped and Chestnut-backed Chickadees, a Wilson's Warbler, and a Vireo. But the only photo is of a Steller's Jay.
Apple tree at the edge of the forest.
Native Dogwood
Wild Honeysuckle

ReplyDeleteThat Chickory blossom is very pretty. The acorns seem to be plentiful this year. Gorgeous blue coloring on the Stellar's Jay!
ReplyDeleteLeaves starting to turn.... I'm in shock! Wasn't it just spring last week? Beautiful colors on your walk!
