Altar Rock

Hiked with Sam, Mari and Chipwich from Gibbs Pond to Altar Rock on Sunday.  The Sickle-Leaved asters are still out in abundance.  Still a little too early for much goldrenrod.  Did catch my first Blazing Star (Liatris)  of the season,  and some early Pearly Everlasting!

Hike Around Stump Pond

How to express the incredible aroma of the Sweet Pepper?  It's like sasparilla...




The sickle-leaved asters are out,  and the bush clover.  No goldenrod yet!
