05-16 ladysmith, holland creek trail (upper) 5.62 km 2:35 elevation gain 927m. oh, this is huff 'n puff'n trail; up and down and up and down and... also, we're having a heat wave (yesterday the heater was on at night, today the fan is). but i went anyway, though i waited until the late afternoon. waited a little too long, actually, since i decided partway in that i wasn't going to be able to make it a loop before darkness unless i really wanted to power-hoof it. which i didn't. so i just turned around. which leaves the rest of the trail and the falls for another day.
lots of ferns shooting new fronds: sword, lady, deer, licorice, maidenhead. many, many fringecups (tellima grandiflora) and springbeauties (claytonia sibirica). some coltsfoot (petasites frigidus palmatus) at the bottom of the creek, before it flows under the highway. a lovely beige-grey gilled mushroom group on a tree which i had never seen before. lots of light playing in the forest.
