nature walk

Near Mom's house there's a wooded area with trails, madrona trees with peeling red bark, and choking blackberries. Some of the blackberry bushes had white flowers
and others pink ones.
A fireweed flower.
I love the ferns!
Another wonder; in her yard there's a rock wall and a while back Mom saw a junco going in and out of a crevice in the rocks. It built a nest there
but sadly abandoned it (disturbed by the lawn mower passing). Mom showed us where two eggs still remained:

Oh these pictures are just so pretty! I just love ferns too. I was telling Debi that while we were hiking when I went to visit her. And I just love the picture of the little eggs. It's just ashame they were abandoned :(
