Here are some pics I took from Linn Run State Forest, and Forbes Park State Forest today. Enjoy.
Here are two of my girlfriend on the bridge.

Here is one of a beautiful waterfall.

Here is one of a little 3 tiered waterfall that I'm going to turn into a brush painting.

Here is one of cool tree roots along the stream's edge. (Legend says fairies live in these types of roots.)

And here is one of the path we hiked on.

Nice pix, MV.

I live in the woods, so going there doesn't require a special trip.

A co-worker in Anchorage needed to get rid of some firewood, so I "helped" him out by hauling some off for him.
Here are some pix I took at 10:10pm as I was leaving the property....

That is a Purple Trillium , MV . It smells a little like rotten meat ? Unpleasent smell at lest ? They are quite rare in Nova Scotia , protected I believe . Haven't seen one since moving west .

Glad that you had a good time . :) BTW I encountered my first frog of the season today . :) { actually yesterday , but I haven't been to bed yet }.

I thought it smelled good. But of course, everything smells good to me. :D There weren't many, but we found a few.

The smell never bothered me much neither . :) But my father hated it . Anywho , I'm sure that it is a Trillium . There are White ones too . Perhaps they are the ones with the stronger smell ? It has been awhile . :) But they have a very distinctive look .

Beautiful photos, Master Vigil. I grew up surrounded by acres upon acres of woods, and those pics remind me very much of my childhood ramble spots. I am an avid lover of forests. They are serene, enchanting, magical, beautiful, and full of enticing mystery. I often take a ramble through woods when I want to talk to God---I feel somehow closer to Him in a 'sylvan palace.' ;)

I just realized that there would be no way that you could know how excited I got seeing the picture of the Trillium MV . Not from my posts at lest . I phoned my father Monday afternoon { he still lives in N.S. } and said " You will never guess what I saw . A guy on a forum posted a picture of a flower that I haven't seen since I was a kid ." He thought for a sec and replied " That flower with the three petals ... " :) He couldn't recall the name before I said it , but he knew the flower , just from the little I had said . Oh , and he says that they are more common there now ?

The Trillium was one of the first flowers to bloom in the Spring . And being rare , I would search for them each year . Always found a few . Mayflowers were another that we hunted in the spring , but they were much more common . And then one year , my mother told me that I couldn't go swimming untill I found a Tiger Lily . She had no idea how early they sometimes bloom . I had one for her within a week . And they also became a flower that I would search out and usually find much before I wanted to go swimming . :)

So you see that your picture brought back many memories for me MV . Thank you .

BTW I haven't seem one in years , because they don't grow this far west . I hope that you don't mind if I take a copy of your picture ?

I like the picture of the flower best - don't ask me why; I'm not saying I didn't like the others, I am just crazy about flora.

We have a passion fruit plant in the front - the flowers from that are exquisite.:)
