For a very late #forestFriday, here is the forest floor now that it has rained in northern California. Most of the plants are invasive but there is one native, a Pacific Snakeroot (the darker leafed plant in the center-left). #forestfloor #nativeplants #nature #naturephotography #photography

Was there last week and the creek at the picnic area at the top of Mitchell Canyon still had water. More there now, of course, after the rain. 😊

For #nationaltakeahikeday I hiked Pine Canyon in a local regional park, northern California. A bit muddy from the recent rains, but now bursting with tiny green shoots. Unlike everywhere else, our plant life awakes in the winter. #nature #naturephotography #forest #trees #nativeplants

There were six, I think. This shows how big they were. (The car is small, but still.) I can just see the line of trucks needed to cart the trolls, even in pieces, away.
