Care to view some purty pictures and identify some plants?
Mrs. V. and I went to St. Mary's Lake (in St. Mary's County, MD) today. Sometimes I think I have mad photo skills, but a day like this is humbling. It's like reading a book:

Photography for Dummies, by Nature. Ver. 1.1: Open eyes, point, shoot.


Photography for Dummies, by Nature. Ver. 2.1: Look up.


Photography for Dummies, by Nature. Ver. 3.1: Pay attention.


Now: can you identify these flora?









It was a splendid day. Here is the trail we were on, followed by a few more pictures.

1. Gorgeous photos! Thanks for posting them.
The fourth flora photo is milkweed. Are the purple berries elderberries?

Never seen it -- until now. Mrs. V. caught it but I was oblivious. :(

Thanks!

An all-expenses-paid trip to Cucamonga and the rest of your clothes. :)
