After Work Duck Pond Walk

I needed a brain break after work today. Decided to go hike on the Duck Pond Trail. What I anticipated being an hour hike ended up being more than two hours of nerding out over things I discovered along the hike. Check out some really cool highlights from my hike.

Trout Lily
(an East Coast favorite of mine)

Large Stonefly Larvae

Red Trillium Flower Buds

Red Trilliums in Open Bloom

An Adult Luna Moth that just emerged from its pupa

(a first alive find for me - I have always found them dead)

Bloodroot

The foundation of a house that Daniel Smiley built with his schoolmates...at the age of 13!

I mean, what types of things did you accomplish at 13 years old? Build a house?

I think I survived 7th grade...that was it!
