Long ago, when I visited the forest with Bel, we walked around that area and found the pitcher plants. We have darlingtonia here in Oregon as well, endangered, and in a wilderness area on the road to Brookings. Another one near Florence on the coast route. Still, the warmth of those gorgeous pitcher plants in the warm southern climate is such a treat.

Seeing a place from that perspective of wonder and delight is a treat.

I'll bet you could have gotten a picture of the red cockaded woodpecker with your NEW camera!<br /><br />My camera does't take good macro shots either, despite the macro setting. I'm thinking of buying a special macro lens. I used to love taking macro underwater photos. You can really see these small things so much better with the right set up.<br /><br />Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-49448569012759429672014-04-02T07:57:03.163-04:002014-04-02T07:57:03.163-04:00Thanks to your wonderful accounting, I can relive ...Thanks to your wonderful accounting, I can relive every detail of our fabulous day among the wildflowers at Wright's Lake.

At the right time (which you seem to have found), that would totally be worth a trip to Wright Lake all the way from TN. All I can say is "wow" again!! This is why I love reading blogs and having blog friends!

In NC I had quite a few woodpeckers around drilling holes in my trees, and I kept my bird book handy at all times. I remember the red-headed woodpecker, and about 3 others of about the same size (whose names I can't remember). Then there was the pileated woodpecker, who just about destroyed a tree outside my window. I love to see them though, and hear them in the woods.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-60162891033751737682014-04-01T21:43:01.109-04:002014-04-01T21:43:01.109-04:00wow. . .you guys really saw an amazing display of ...wow. . .you guys really saw an amazing display of pitchers. . .nice!<br /><br />AND. . .if you ever see a Red Cockaded Woodpecker, I truly hope you get a picture. . .because we've been going out to a park in Conroe for the past two years trying to see them. . .and all we've seen are the trees painted in much the same way your trees were painted. . .makes ya say. . .hmmmm?<br />Janice Williford Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322596945199192769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-53314018954517689862014-04-01T21:23:11.648-04:002014-04-01T21:23:11.648-04:00That field of pitcher plants was amazing.
