Back to Armstrong!

 Today I headed back to Armstrong Woods with Cay, this time with Patrick as well.  We did get to see a little more of the park than we did last time, but not all of the park, since some of the upper trails were closed until dangerous leaning and falling trees could be removed and the trails made safe.  


Patrick and Cay at the Armstrong tree.  The light hit the dust on the camera lens "just right".  ((sigh))


Probably the coolest thing for me for this trip was FINALLY seeing banana slugs.  Patrick made the first sighting (one was on the trail near the Armstrong Tree) but we soon saw more in that same area around the Armstrong.

Cailin photographs a banana slug on her phone.


The first sighting of the day!

More slugs:

slug #2

a closeup of the previous slug

(I especially like this photo because you can see the texture of his skin... slug #3)

almost missed this one, except he was glistening so much he caught my eye (slug #4)

and of course there were all the fun and lovely photos of the woods themselves.
