Rather Like A Dream
A glorious Sunday hike to Raven Point!
Raven Point
an ant carrying a spider along a twig
saddlebags caterpillar
a snail
Rattlesnake Plantain
Rattlesnake Plantain
Hearts-a-bustin
Pipsissewa
Soapwort Gentian
I walk in the mountain woods,
...season
When the first maple leaf falls red, the first
Beech leaf gold.
I stand, hands at sides, and wonder,
Wonder if I should put out a hand to touch
Tree or stone--just to know.

Dude, where did you find that "hearts-a-bustin"? I need one for my dendro collection.
Some info about it for those interested: Aka- Strawberry bush; Eunonymous americanus; family Celastraceae (same family as Oriental bittersweet, an invasive)and dont let the tasty name fool you... its poisonous to us humans.
Thanks for the info. There were a few about a mile down from Raven Point, on the ascending part of the hike if you're hiking from Fiery Gizzard.
