Playing in the Pocono Forests
In the Poconos, the trees are at a wonderful point where anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 (or more) of the trees in a given area are turning their leaves. Fiery reds, pinks, oranges, and golds are contrasted against rich greens and browns.
It was the ultimate in eye candy, and while my camera couldn’t possibly do our travels justice, these are just some of the beautiful things we saw in the forest. We visited the Delaware State Forest, Gouldsboro State Park, and Promised Land State Park, where most of these pictures were taken.

If anyone knows the identity of the plant in the eighth picture, please tell us! It looks so familiar, but I'm not quite sure what it is. Perhaps some type of fern?

Re: Photo #8. It's Sweet Fern, Comptonia peregrina. It's not a fern, but a woody shrub or subshrub in the Bayberry family (Myriaceae).
ReplyDeleteSalut Ducklover, et bienvenue! J'aime les champignons aussi!
ReplyDeleteXris, thank you SO MUCH for help with the plant identification - it is very much appreciated! :)
