Seen along the famous Washburn Trail today ...

Red and green - Christmas in July
Eurasian Bush Honeysuckle - very invasive
Love looking at the clever names of boats.




H.W.Hocks - this fishing boat has a problem.



Today we have ox-eye daisies, pearly everlastings, common tansy, brown-eyed susans,  white sweet clover,  yellow sweet clover, common yarrow,swamp buttercup, dandelion.
