spring's end

With a forecast of 90 degrees today, I figured I'd better get out early if I was going to go out at all. It was nice and cool in the woods and along the river, and I found signs of summer all over the place.




The water is really low right now; at its height, it was over the top of this fallen tree.





The flowers on Indian Pipe are just as freaky as you'd expect. Its nickname is Corpse Plant, BTW.



I hope you are all staying cool on this last weekend of spring!

corpse plant? that fits. all the shots are lovely as always, but this time i'm hard-pressed to pick a favorite.

I'm tempted to call it "zombie flower." ;)

Berries! And I love the river. You have such a great eye for beauty!

You're going to be 90 today? Even we're not that hot. Yet.

Sending you cool thoughts.

Thank you!

I'm very fortunate that I have a/c in my apartment. And that electricity is included in my rent.

The shot of the canada lily is beautiful--I love those flowers!

Is that what that is? It was along the boardwalk, where the trout lilies were back in May. They're pretty!

Those raspberries make my mouth water!

Mmm, me too! I found some ripe black raspberries yesterday, and they promptly found their way into my tummy. :)
