Flowers, Berries, and More

When hiking or walking in the woods, it's fun to slow down and look at what's blooming on the side of the trail. Here's what I saw at Federation Forest State Park, Washington State, this past week. Sorry I can't identify all the plants. (Click on photos to enlarge.)

The trails were wide and easy for the
walking group to traverse.
These tiny white flowers brightened the path.
Foxgloves bloomed near the visitors' center and all along the highway
These unusual plants go by several names:
Indian pipe, ghost plant, or corpse plant.
They were between 4 and 6 inches tall.
These berries glowed like rubies in the shade
beneath the tall trees.
We saw quite a few mushrooms and toadstools.

The river gets its milky color from glacial run-off from Mt. Rainier.
