I am, in fact, still here.

🟣 On a hike with walls of rock on one side, we came upon a spot where water dripped down, creating a seepage slope. This type of microhabitat is often a place to find treasure and this time we were not disappointed:
A little patch of wild irises.

#Travel #WildflowerWednesday #WildFlowers #NativePlants #TravelPhotography🥾 We hiked past a water impoundment that is usually disruptive to a mountaintop environment, but this one was full of salamanders!
These amphibians prefer cold, clean, running water as in pristine streams. This pond had to be relatively undisturbed. 
I stayed still and got a pic of a Spotted Salamander as it floated into a sunny spot. Love the orange spots!#BreaksSP 🧵

️ Hiking trails in this park are on several horizontal levels. The middle levels give you rock walls on one side and vistas on the other.🥾 And, because of a large amount of geological thrust faults, sometimes you have to maneuver through unexpected formations.

🥾 Despite being on fairly steep slopes, the forests of this area are dense. In the moist wind-protected coves, ferns are happy.

I don't have a clear favorite species, but I like to be in fern-filled areas.

Quite the rock. That reassuring orange arrow there sure is reassuring.

️ The view of The Breaks from our spot got even more interesting when a front came through one day. 🥾 We were lucky to get back in time from hiking before the rains came, because I delayed rechecking the forecast until it was obvious we were at risk of getting wet.
