eve walk behind lundbom lake

still eve walk. shadows are getting longer. There was a path we went on last time that I was trying to find. we went about 10minutes down the path, but it came to a junction and Colin didn't want to head further away from where we had come from and the opposite side went down a steepish gravelly slope. I didn't have my knee brace or poles so we decided it might be best to head back since we had already been out for around an hour.

gnarled ponderosa again, but close up. Lighting was nice.

Heracleoides because the flowers are similar in appearance to those of cow parsnip (Heracleum lanatum).
