A morning at South March (part 4)
July 27th, 2014
My last set of photos for awhile. If you should ever want to visit this beautiful forest, a trail map is available online. The main entrance is at Second Line and Klondike.

Generous sprays of Wild Columbine bloom in the exposed rocky areas of South March. It's one of my favorite wildflowers, and not one you see just anywhere.
Northern Flicker.
That's white trillium behind the chipmunk--it positively blankets parts of the forest in spring.
Unique vegetation on the sandstone barren north of Heron Pond. Nighthawks dive over this area in spring, and wild (edible) wintergreen berries grow in abundance. Unfortunately, this part of the forest, as well as a large chunk of the pond, is owned by a developer and could easily be lost.

The Heron Pond vegetation picture is unbelievably gorgeous!!! How unfortunate that it might soon be gone.

The last pic is indeed an excellent composition, very striking. The others are good, but somewhat eclipsed by it!
