Last Ditch Effort



The elusive wild morel !



Wild Blue Phlox



I've got to look this one up!



Large Leaf Trillium (state flower of Ohio)



I was planning to come home tonight and be "bone idle" to quote Onslow from the PBS series Keeping Up Appearances. When Andrew called me at work at 4:30 and suggested that we hit the mushroom trail one last time for the season I however, agreed-apparently still toked up on a Monster Java from lunch time and having temporarily lost my senses, also knowing the window of opportunity was waning. Morel hunting is like a fever that starts in mid April and lasts until mid May. We were rewarded with one last somewhat dry morel and lots of beautiful wildflowers. I'm off to bed to finish reading Twilight.

When it comes to morels, I never had a first ditch effort. I am pretty clueless. I guess I'll have to look them up.

It looks like it was an enjoyable walk judging from the photos. I guess you got a second wind.
