1 - Late April, 2024

I took a short two-hour walk late one afternoon up into the
adjacent SNWA, looking for anything new or different..


Buffalo_Nut
Buffalo Nut   (Pyrularia pubera) - in bud


Gorge_Falls
I didn't find anything exciting botanically-speaking,
but did come across this cool new little waterfall.

I've always bypassed the little gorge here, taking an old
logging road that passes above the steep slope, but today
I glanced up from the bottom and noticed the falling water.



Big_Oak
This big Red Oak, while not a monster, was almost 4 ft diameter.
