This orchid was growing in a few meters from Twentysix Mile Creek.

As we ascended up Hatchethead Mountain we encountered a clearing with Paintbrush.  As we continued to ascend,
the paintbrush thinned out and disappeared again.

This little guy was our insect Saviour!  He loved eating black flies and would eat
the flys flying around the deck areas.  He became quite tame (and fat).
I believe this is a Fox Sparrow.

This example of Lilium columbianum.  There is a superstition
(or so says my book) that smelling a tiger lily will give you freckles.
