It's a beautiful April day. Take a walk with me in my woods and see how beautiful it is here.....

      
From to tops of the trees to the fiddlehead ferns on the forest floor.

The lowly dandelion.

The Calypso orchid is native to Oregon.
There are hundreds in my woods.

The orchids are very tiny. Can you find all four?

      
A buttercup.                                     A fawn lily.

A wild iris.                                     A trillium.

      
I don't know the name of this delicate flower.                  The wild strawberry.

The birds love the berries these flowers make.

Using mushrooms and rot. Animals find homes in snags and stumps.

A rotting stump may be somebody's habitat.

A dead snag is good habitat too.
