After our meal, we went on a guided tour of Pia's property and part of Duff Park. It was a really educational walk in the woods. Since most of the plants are done blooming, I learned more about making identifications from the leaves. I realized just how ignorant I am when it comes to botanical knowledge... looking out into the woods seems to a blur of green. I sort of glaze over and just file everything under "green" and "leaves". But I have to remember that all those "leaves" are different plants and learn more about the particular shapes, sizes, smells, textures and variations of green to produce accurate identifications.
To vicariously and virtually join us on our walk, CLICK HERE to check out the images I've added to my Flickr stream.
