Another yellow flower (but different from the previous).It kind of reminds me of those butter cookies that you can fit around your pinkie.
These kind:
Okay, so they only very very slightly (edges) resemble each other...I must be terribly hungry. Anyhoo...this was one of few colorful things found on a long hike at the semi-local state park. This time of year it's mostly just boring green foliage, unless the waterfalls are runnning (which they were not). Though we did get extremely close to a little fawn, just munching away on some plants. We stopped and watched until some other hikers (families with small kids) thundered down the trail and scared it off. Oh -- and we saw some GIANT carp and other fish off a bridge at one of the remote river inlets. The boyfriend and I just stood there in the peace and quiet, watching in amazement these giant (probably severely polluted) fish, just lumbering along in the backwaters. It was definitely one rare time in summer that we were pretty much completely alone on the trails. We started out around 7:30am that day, and ran into maybe 4 or 5 people until we were on our way out. The very odd thing was this: We got caught in the rain. It had been thundering off in the distance for some time, but we really weren't too concerned about getting wet. I just didn't want to get caught in the woods in a storm. At any rate, as we were getting closer to the main entrance/parking lot, we started passing swarms of people -- all going IN to the woods! I mean, by the time we were very near the main trail's end (beginning), it was nearly pouring rain -- and here are several families headed out on hikes...no rain coats, gear, or anything. We were more than puzzled at that!
