The White Trillium...

Is a perennial plant in the lily family...growing along my morning jogging path...Picking a trillium seriously injures the plant by preventing the leaf-like bracts from producing the next year. A plant takes many years to recover. Look...but don't pick!!

Transformed Stool...

Multi-tasking...As a snack table... Perfect!

A Break...

In the weather...morning sunrise...Foggy valley... And a glimpse of...

The snowy mountain!
