Flowers turn to berry. Bright fluffy elder flowers to hard green and purple berries. Big clusters of devil’s club flowers become burr-ish berry fruits. Even in the shade the lupine is blooming.
Every day there are more strippers. Every day there are more customers.
Yesterday there was bear poop on my favorite trail.
Today there are two more big city strippers, and a grouse hopped down the trail in front of me pretending to have a broken wing for a quarter of a mile before she flew away.
