And I have been known to walk right by ladyslippers and not see them until I have turned around and am on my way back. Happened yesterday with a patch of Adoxa, didn't see it on the uphill, spotted it on my way back down.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The joy - or is that agony - of spring ephemerals is that they are, for the most part, all white and low to the ground. At my pace, not so hard to pick out - at yours?! I could see the problem.<BR/><BR/>I spotted a lot of things while "power hiking" up hill, others while stuck behind a group or tiptoeing around the rocks and roots. Probably missed a lot too.<BR/><BR/>Hope the ankle is feeling better.<BR/><BR/>Chris, <BR/><BR/>not only did I run I am in the midst of planning my long run for tomorrow - 17 miles if it goes as planned. Meeting a friend who lives near Jay Cooke State park with the intent of running part of the Voyageur course and who knows what else. Good time to spot wildflowers and gather ticks (yuck!).wildknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512372230592596889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28115972.post-20617787189511668092008-05-23T13:54:00.000-05:002008-05-23T13:54:00.000-05:00Wow, you did ANOTHER run this week??

So many of the other spring flowers are tiny, white and close to the ground that they start to blend together.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.com
