5 July 2015 Looking for Orchids

It has been a number of years since our orchids have bloomed, but each year we hike into the higher regions of our land to look for the orchids. Each walk starts with the happy expectation that this will be the year we see a spike or two. We were happy to see four healthy orchids, but no spikes. Hopefully next year...

It's always a nice walk back and this year we were able to spot a very active salamander on the journey.
