forest Flowers and Buck Big Red

I have been asked where the forest flowers are in my photos tht I have posted lately since most have been of the river & creek while rising and waterfalls around here. These are a few of the flowers we have seen while out on our morning hikes, the top flower I'm not sure what it is called i believe it is a bulb plant with a pretty yellow flower that hangs upside down, it found in various areas aound here.
The next photo is of Trillium which are some of the first flowers we see here they love acidic soil for sure and pop up quite quickly after the snow melts, likes shady areas mainly it seems to me and grows all over the flrest floor.

As they get older more mature they turn to the purple color which gets quite deep purple which you see in the next photo.


In the bottom photo is some of the many deer that show up during the day to take their turn at the salt block I put out about 10 days ago and it will be gone in another 3-4 days. It's hard to tell from this shot but the deer in front is a year round resident buck i call Big Red and he already has antlers double the length of his ears and both sides are already forked and the left side rear is starting to split to fork again and it is just June 3. Each year he is a wonderful looking big massive buck with very wide 4x4 and he is extremely wiley and out smarts the hunters each year. He stays here during the winter and never migrates out towards Fish Lake like many of the the deer do.

We actually drive the truck in to Trinity yesterday it's still muddy in a few places but drying nicely aith a couple of snow spots left, it's nice to have y truck home from the garage after 6 months makes going & coming a little easier now.
We found our Paradise, hope you find your's too. Peace
