Four of us (CarolC, Jacque, KathleenG, and Sallie) gathered at Bright Leaf Preserve for a docent (Jacque) led hike. Many of the varieties of wild flowers we saw during our spring hike were no longer blooming.
We hiked 3.25 miles according to my gps and 4.05 miles according to my Fitbit. Hmmm. The hike took about 2 hours.
Photos are attached. KathleenG spotted the tarantula. The Button Bush photo is not particularly good, but I do love that plant. The Balsam Gourd has very bright gourds this year.
Join us for the next Bright Leaf hike, which will be in the fall.
