Took the kids to Goldstream the local river to see the salmon run today.
Broad leaf maple
My childhood swimming hole
Chum salmon
Natives taking cedar bark to make rope and clothing (they never take more so they don’t kill the tree)

Didn’t get to go out much last year because of a busted shoulder, was able to start up again this winter.
Elephants head, first time doing this one during the day. Usually a midnight hike we do once a year.
Just up from my place, found out I have a new neighbour. Tracks were within 24 hours of taking the picture. Was stalking a deer for about 350 ft before the deer ran off across the US border, didn’t get to see if the cougar had dinner or not.
And a throw back to one of the bigger hikes I did with a few friends when I was working down in Oregon.
Mt. Elanor on the Olympic peninsula, WA
Only spot I could snap a picture on this stretch of the climb.

What a great thread! Inspiring scenery. Beautiful photography. Personal stories.
And now as a break from all of that, here are some photos from my hike this morning at Lake Elmo Park Reserve in Minnesota poorly shot on my iPhone 5.
This landscape is a bit more... Subtle.
Though the lakes are pretty.
The wildflowers are largely non-existent. Mostly what we have is invasive Bromus inermis, sun and shade. It was encouraged by our very helpful highway department who wanted something that could easily establish itself anywhere they worked. Check! But here a few Anemone canadensis that have managed to hold on.

A sweet forest air.
Friends pause, peering at some moss,
Heart and mind unwind.

Worthy of a travelling poet. Utamakura.
Yes, ditch the gadgets before it's too late:
The phone knows my soul,
Maps my destiny and life,
And pens this haiku.

First fun hike of the summer: Lighthouse Trail
Lots of drosera rotundifolia, some submerged.
Sarracenia purpurea with flowers and new pitchers.
Other stuff: cranberries, little tidal pools with trapped fish, a beach of inookshooks, weird mushrooms in rocks,
And a lighthouse

Bucket list hike - Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Skyline Trail - https://www.moosebait.com/portfolio-item/skyline/
At the head of the trail, a Parks employee cautioned us that a female moose and calf had been sighted a few days ago. No bear or coyote sightings. And there were lots of hikers, making lots of noise, so we headed in.
Drosera rotundifolia, Sarracenia purpurea in flower, lots of bugs and flowers, no wildlife

I always wondered if you could make friends with bumblebees, they're so cute and furry.

This hike was done over a month ago at mckean lake in the Valhalla’s. Lots of sphagnum moss, no cp’s but didn’t take a very close look to see if any drosera had died back. Attempted mt. Mckean but decided to turn around a 100 ft from the summit. Will be going back during the summer when this will be much easier to tackle. Hopefully see some D. rotundifolia! The boulder field was a pain with the snow and ice haha.
