Trilliums and Turtles, Thu 10 May 2018 (pix by Jeannie)

 It was a challenge to work around the fallen trees after last week's windstorm and the more recent rain, but the trilliums were well worth the effort.

 
 How to get across...??

 Tom & Sid seem to have other ideas about the route ...

 It was a perfect day for a walk in the woods...
... well, almost perfect after rain the night before.

 The trilliums were in fine form.

 There was lots of tree damage from the recent wind storm. 

Uh oh, where to now?

 These are spring flowers, too, are they not?

Gathering for announcements

Never say die!
