A Stop at Embury Road

 So I decided to take my mother over to Embury Road today.  I didn't think there were a ton of ships passing and we needed to take care of other things so that kind delayed the start of my day.  It also didn't help that a nasty thunderstorm passed through as we were getting ready to leave.  Anyway.

After some navigating the dirt road that was full of potholes, I made it to my first flower.

The marsh marigolds were pretty much on the dying end of the scale, so I didn't take any pictures of them.

I liked that the blossoms for the may apples were out but they were a little difficult to get pictures of.  I think I managed fairly well though.

I think this was a Canadian anemone.

Another may apple.

And I finally got my stand of trillium.

These are my favorite flowers but it didn't seem like there was as many of them this year.

The rain drops added, I think.

These look like they are on the way out though.

I was able to get some different though.

I think I like this one the best.

This one was back in the woods a bit.

Another Canada anemone.

The light was just about right.

One more and then I headed off.

A Return to Embury Road

 So on Saturday my mom and I took a bit of a whirlwind tour.   I wanted to get some pictures of a couple lighthouses with my drone.  I kind of took the scenic way of getting to those points and that meant a stop at Embury Road.

The Jack in the pulpit finally made its way out.

This is a pretty cool looking flower.

I think it may be related to the Venus fly trap.

I'm pretty sure they will eat insects.  I think water gathers in the bottom and that is used to digest flies and what not.

But still a pretty cool looking flower.

I think this is a false Solomon's seal.

Spring beauties.

More of those.

I'm not sue what this is.

But it is a pretty flower.

Different types.

One more.

A May apple.

I used the flash to get this shot.

And this is a trillium.

Another one.

A trio of them.

And I found another Jack in the pulpit.

I'm not sure why it has different coloring.

And I'll finish with some more trillium.

This is a pretty flower.

And one more before moving on.

Return to Embury Road

 On the Friday before Labor Day, my mother had a Doctor's appointment with her new primary physician.  In order to help her, I took the afternoon off.  After her appointment, I took her over to Embury Road.  She likes going over there.  I like going over there because there is a nice assortment of wild flowers.

  This is a May apple flower.  I had to contort pretty interestingly to get a picture of it.  But it is kind of neat looking flower.

 I think this is a wild geranium.

 Another May apple flower.

 and one more.

 I found a spot with a bunch of trillium.  Unfortunately, they were starting to look pretty sad.

 I do like it when I see the purple ones though.

 A pretty good looking one.

 This one would be a pretty good looking one, but it is starting to fold over.

 I really like this one.

 And another.

 I'm not sure what kind of flower this is though.

And one more.  I think this one is a violet.
