What a great place to hike! I love being in the woods and what I wouldn't give to drink in that beauty. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. thanks for sharing your outing. Wish I was there.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous spot and great photos. I would love to be able to identify the wildflowers better and love seeing them in nature the best. Thanks for the tour! Lucky you!

Cool! I'm not sure if my heart is too faint for that or not. :)
ReplyDeleteThe flower in the rock is Rue Anemone. I've never seen it growing in a rock like that though!
Thanks for the wildflower ID Rurality!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! That place is gorgeous...the terrain reminds me of Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois. I went horseback riding/camping over terrain like that...pretty scary! Several times I found myself looking for a tree to grab onto in case my horse spooked and headed over the edge! Hope you get to go back when more things are up, but that anemonie is really cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found this post Phillip. This looks like a great place to go for spring flowers and a little heart racing adventure!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting!!
