August 19: In the woods
I was up on Ragged Mountain today helping with some boundary work on a property Coastal Mountains Land Trust hopes to conserve. Indian Pipe (or Ghost Plant), a parasitic flower often associated with beech trees and now in bloom, was scattered throughout the forest understory.
Mountain understory--
dropped acorns and ghost plants
haunt last year's beech leaves.
