As the summer hikes wind down, 21 members followed Ann on a lovely morning, through the woods but not quite to grandmother's house. It was educational: We learned about poison ivy and its effects and spotted a gorgeous new flower on the trail that might be an escapee from a nearby garden. Michael made an appealing pitch for an epic creek-wading session next Monday.
Are these people amused at the invitation to go wading in Bronte Creek?
This is what can happen if you get too close to Poison Ivy.
Poison Ivy: not just leaves of three, but pattern is revealing, as we learned from Anne Armstrong -- a pair together with short stems, and the third leaf on a longer stem.
Pretty plant, odd name -- Pink Turtlehead.
