Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
The Sonny Day Hikers tackled this trail hoping to find the ladyslipper blooms we had found other years. While the trail was wetter than any of us had ever seen it, we did find the flowers. The next day I joined the Hearthstone Hikers…
I attended a workshop in Cass, WV focused on flower macro photography and scenics. Unfortunately, the trees had not yet leafed out, so the scenics did not materialize the extent we wanted. So the whole thing changed to a workshop on “buds and barns” …
