The little twinkling star flowers are so dainty and precious. I love the backdrop of green, which makes their radiant color twinkle even more. I love how the forest is very supportive in its theatrics: "Here, I'll play the part of the backdrop so you can play the lead role and shine." So, very beautiful, Whitney.

Tiny flowers 🤍 I would like to be in the forest right now. It's already so hot in Sicily!

Oh no! That's so unfortunate when it gets hot early, I hope you're able to find some relief in cool places. ♡

Absolutely beautiful collection of images. These make me anxious to get back to the west coast to wander through the woods. We're hoping to get up to BC this summer, LMK if you have any recommendations for hikes and trails!

Thank you so much Jennifer. How exciting that you might make it to BC this year! Most of the trails I frequent are small and unknown - but if you end up near Squamish, Alice Lake has a stunning network of forest trails that are absolutely worth exploring!

I love these! In the southern Appalachians, June is the time for Catawba rhododendron blooms. Sadly, I've had several moderate disasters this spring and probably won't get to see them.
