F is for Footprints & Fields of toadFlax Flowers

Ah, the signs of nature all in one spot. Raccoon, deer, and great blue heron were all here.

I thought this was a particularly nice raccoon track.

Toad flax is a pretty, little early spring wild flower which is only effective in fields of them together. You can see that they are related to snapdragons by the blossom form. One is sort of plain.

But a bunch full is wonderful to see.


The red is sour grass (chicken feed) and the yellow is wild mustard.


These were all still at Donnelly and Bear Island WMAs.
