I thought last weekend was a great show but I saw more Mariposa Lilies today than I’ve ever seen! This photo was taken at the junction of the Lookout Trail and Tom’s Thumb but I’m guessing you can probably see them at most higher elevation trails.

patience
Chris walked right past this face on the Tom’s Thumb Trail but then patiently waits while I record it. He’s the most patient guy in the world 🙂
Moss and Lichen face
afternoon face
Just when I thought I had seen all the faces on the main part of the Tom’s Thumb trail,
I find this great one. Afternoon light might explain why I hadn’t noticed it before.

This is for those who wonder why I have no desire to travel. I’m already at my desired destination!
I never tire of exploring and photographing the Preserve and there’s much I haven’t seen. Love it 🙂
buckeye butterfly
I captured this Buckeye butterfly up at Tom’s Thumb.
There’s nothing like an injury to make you appreciate just how hard simple tasks are for some people. For instance, having to do everything with only your left hand when you’re right handed! I will have that empathy this week after falling yesterday and spraining my right wrist. It could easily have been much worse so I’m very thankful to only have a splint to show for my rock hopping mishap. This was my fourth hike up there in a week and half so it’s possible I might have been just a little tired 🙂

petroglyphs
How exciting to be walking along a trail and see this rock art! A little investigation revealed many more.
