5/26/13 City Forest

It's been mostly rain here for the past week and the past few days we have mostly walked around the neighborhood or downtown in the rain ( there is a flood watch in effect) . This morning it stopped and looked like it might clear so we went to the forest and got in two hours without rain. We even had a couple of glimpses of sun but by the time we got back to the car it was raining again. Still a good outing- water everywhere for Kelley, people to greet and dogs to meet. Too much talking by me so only a few pictures.

I don't know this one- but Grace did- Wild Rhododendron 


Bunchberry


New leaves


I liked the meandering trail but if you look lower left you will see two geese.

    1. Hi Grace- thanks for the ID and your comment. It is a lovely time of year. We needed the rain but I think we've had enough.

  3. We've been dealing with on and off rain here for a week and the weather guessers are calling for another week of it. Oh well, try to get out when you can. Looks like the flora is healthy, though!
