shrooms on the nw weir trail


these are in fact not mushrooms but lovely flowers growing in front of the kitchen.
and now for the mushrooms. i will identify some but not all as i am not always sure of the variety or type.

this is an amanita muscaria, three views of the same shroom.

not sure what kind these are marcia used the center one to dye wool many years ago. if iremember correctly the yarn turned a lovely pastel saffron colour.

two views of an unknown shroom and the third is a bolete.

not sure what these are but interesting none the less.

i think the last two are some sort of lactarius.

not sure about the first and third but the middle one is an amanita muscaria just coming up.

the first two pictures are views of a russula not sure about the third picture.

114 east inflow trail a walk with tartanic


pearly everlasting, as the name implies these flowers dry very well.


tansy old and new, more pearly everlasting and fireweed

this birch limb reminded me of elephant skin. close up of this pond i like the patterns.

tartan waiting for me to finish taking pictures. a shroom, interesting birch limb.

start of a panorama of roddy lake shot from the end of the dock east, southeast and southwest

west, north west and north. these directions are approximate.

here we are at the 114 trail, self portrait on rock.

a few of the trap shack out buildings. i love these grasses and tartan.

these are bunch berries and next is evening primrose. i don't know what this plant is but i like the leaves very much.

rock guys i made on the way back to camp

the long road home. more fireweed and still more rock guys

a valley seen from the road. butter and eggs and another valley beside the road.

an ant lion lair and crazy daisies and butter and eggs. a shroom

i like this driftwood and two views of a rock guy at roddy landing.


yet another fireweed, grasses in the water and a fallen tree in the water

looking up roddy hill floral distraction about halfway up and looking down the hill.


a shroom and another valley beside the road.

more shots of roddy hill looking up looking down and at the top.

lovely grasses and the path to roddy hill ridge and shrooms

more pearly everlasting. a prehistoric plant whose name escapes me and grasses.

these next six shots are of tartan chowing down on blueberries. he is mad for blueberries

and raspberries.

rock guys and shrooms and the view from the top of the 303 ridge looking towards lake 239 on the way back to camp.

shrooms and rock guys.

fern patterns, bluebead and very tall red clover.
