Nice day for a hike - lower 70's with a mix of sun and clouds. Was worried deer flies might be a problem as one time last year there were so many they drove us out, but only a very few today.
Start of the trail toward the ponds.
We usually bypass the trail to Ducktail and visit Partridge first

In the pond
Not as sharp as it should be but first of the year
Wet spot in the trail on the way back to the main trail
Ducktail Pond
Not a lot of flowers today but we found some wild iris
Nice hike. Kelley did very well today and was enthusiastic - I think a result of a day off and partly a hike she likes. 2 hours
That blue in the iris is a stunning shade. I love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd that start of the trail looks very inviting. Looks like you had a fine outing.
Enjoy your weekend, John
