mid summer

It's mid summer here in Western PA.  Everything is green and lush.  More bugs than buds.  This is what our favorite park (Knob Hill) looked like this morning.
The few swamp Cabbages that are left standing around the banks of the stream look to be in their last stage.  (The stream itself is just a trickle, since there hasn't been much rain lately).
I didn't see any sign at all of the mayapples (umbrella plants) that were so predominant when we left.  Not even apples.  There was a new path cleared through what used to be a more rugged route.
Only a couple of wild flowers ...
It's still the same old place, though.  Birds singing.
