ADK

Another fun stay in the Adirondacks. This is as close as we've come to the high season - summer officially starts Memorial day, so every-thing's set to open on Friday - but we prefer the lower-key times. High temperatures - 90˚s! - made it feel like summer enough already.

Within the forests we walked in, the spring ephemerals have mostly passed. Understory leaves are stretching out to catch sunlight while they can. The other action is in the tree canopy, far from view unless flowers, catkins - or whole branches - fell. We'll be back in autumn!
