The wildflowers were still blooming when we hiked at Inks Lake State Park. Park Road 4, leading into the park, was particularly beautiful. I’m putting it on my calendar for next year.

I found this gem at Inks Lake State Park. First time I’d seen a snail hanging on a flower petal. Now, just how did it get there?

After hiking at Inks Lake State Park, my hiking group gathered for a picnic along the shore. This couple came paddling by, looking happy to be out on the lake on such a fine day.
