The big thrill this week was seeing MANY Pink moccasin-flowers.
It was in a beautiful Jack Pine woods. There, also were many
Starflowers, Labrador Tea, Wintergreen with red berries, bunchberries.
After we had our fill of this woods we went to our favorite bog. the Bog
Laurel was at it's peak (view
Ken Hupila's photos of cotton grass and bog laurel). We also saw Leatherleaf, 3-leafed Solomon-seal,
and the beginnings of Cotton Grass. There are so many blooming trees and
special flowers. It is just perfect except for the bugs. This is the
best time of the year for them too. There are SO many Tent Caterpillars up at Seagull lake, so many trees without leaves.
