I headed out to some woods I know very well. They are close to my homestead and I grew up traversing the hills and hollows and playing in the “crick.” I like to walk in these areas for they, too, like so many areas are being swallowed up through development.
I left to check out for morels, those delicious morsels of fungi. I failed to fins any, but I enjoyed turkey activity. I called two nice gobblers to me. Later, I would see five gobblers and two hens. The
old-longbearded tom was suspicious of me, but his suspicions stopped when several jakes closed in to him. He turned and chased them every time they ventured too close.
I spotted a squirrel watching me from the safety of a hole in the tree.
The unusual find mentioned in the title of this entry is the yellow trillium in the above photo. I actually found two of them. This is color-variant of the Purple Trillium for this beauty was in the midst of a cluster of the trilliums.
