Drbethnolan: Thank you for stopping by. The walk was lovely with lots of diverse ecosystems to explore.
ReplyDeleteDeb Nance: I've been wondering if Saturday Snapshot participants are tired of seeing photos from my hikes. Glad to hear you're still enjoying them. This outing was lots of fun, in spite of spooky tree stumps.
ReplyDeleteLaurel-Rain: My hiking group is very observant. I never know what they'll notice along the way. It helps that some are knowledgeable about local plants and trees, too. That makes the hikes even more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment on my post.
Thanks for stopping by, Colleen. I appreciate your comments, and I'm delighted that you enjoy my photos.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, as always, Sandra! What a beautiful day. We haven't seen the sun much around here lately. And everything out there looks so different from around here - I am dying to explore the NW someday!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing -

Thanks for visiting my blog, Sue. We've had lots of rain lately, too, so a dry day for hiking was a delight. Of course, the trail was muddy in places from previous rainfall, but that's okay. We all just plow on through!
