So! I got bit by a tick this weekend, and when I went to pull him off he put up a fight and took some of my skin with him, which, OUCH! Stupid ticks.
But! I got lots of walking in, both days. I love this time of year - not too hot, not too cold, and no annoying BUGS - well, other than the ticks. Damn ticks.
Frozen waterfall. GIVE UP, WINTER. YOU'RE DRUNK.
This hill was STEEP!:
File that in the "why yes, yes, I *am* a wimp" department.
Turkey feathers shine iridescent in the sunlight:
Skunk cabbage and trout lilies poking up out of the ground:
This tree broke off way up high and then got stuck on the way down:
Penny rock!
Yesterday, I was out in the middle of nowhere, hiking, hiking, hiking, when all of a sudden:
Hello, chair! Somebody hauled that sucker a LONG way out into the woods.
Upended tree:
Frog eggs:
Coltsfoot (feet?) always look cheery.
Two days, two great hikes. Other than the tick, that is. Lousy ticks.

Penny rock is fascinating!
I SO agree with you on the ticks. Damned ticks. Can't go caching in the woods without picking a few up, either. :(
Tails, I love Penny Rock!
and Mama D, I was hoping that the harsh winter we just went through would cut the tick population, but evidently not. Bah.
Thank you for the frog eggs. It's been decades since I've come across any -- the photo had a strong effect on me.
