Saturday's Tromp Along Worle Creek


Today's tromp covered some areas with heavy underbrush.



Found a path through...

Very interesting bark....I will have to get out my Dirr's....It is Amur corktree
 This bark looks familiar, but cannot name it.....Dirr's?  And Hophornbeam..Ostrya

A lovely carpet of needles shed from the Eastern White Pine...no longer in their "bundles of 5."

Back in the 'hood and spotted the neighbor's flouncy hemlock.
