Spring Hike With Surprises -- Second Posting

Here are the rest of the photos from the hike the other day. Spring was evident everywhere. The forest floor was covered with at least a half dozen different wild flowers. Trees were leafing out even more. It was a beautiful day in Grand Marais.

First a grandfather white birch...

The spring growth on the pine trees was very evident...

A few shots taken near the Lake Superior shoreline bluff....

After walking across the foot bridge near Sable Falls and heading back the trail to Sable Visitors Center, I came upon the most beautiful patch of trilliums I have ever seen. 

The day ended with a nice sunset.
