May Apple update

I did not get a photo of a May Apple flower with our weather this week, but I did spot quite a few fruiting May Apples. The flowers are white. You can see how the flower hangs below the umbrella leaves.

We saw whole forests of these plants on the hillsides. The distinct color of the leaves, like the trout lily and so many other plants, makes it easy to identify from afar.









I will close with a recent photo of "N" of GAIN. He picked up two blue jay feathers while we checked on a geocache that I own. One was lost on the walk to the car. :-(
