Details:

Just some photos I took of the little things on my last hike into the Mackey Mountain Roadless Area. That hike was in 2009. That year we also had an early Spring and some flowers were coming out early. This year, I expect it will be even more advanced with some flowers already having blossomed and faded.

Snail shell along the trail.

Blossoms. Someone told me what these were, but the ID went in one ear and out the other. I need to do something about that.

The forest in this area is well known for its wealth of native wildflowers.

People tend to like this photo. I've posted it before.

The rhododendron was blooming really early that year. I feel like we may see some already out on this backpack.
