Trillium Trail

"Mom, what kind of flower is that?" The question hung in the air as little boys' eyes danced with excitement.

The trillium are in full bloom, blanketing the forest floor off of Brooks Rd. And even on a rainy morning such as it was this morning, they were breath-taking. Beautiful enough that the boys didn't even venture on a long hike, but rather found some logs to just sit and look (and then of course pretend to row, row, row their boat, gently down the stream).

I was hoping to see some deer as well, knowing that these plants are a favorite of theirs, but no such luck (probably the third round of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," frightened them away).

It came as a recommendation to me to check out this spot on the Churning Rapids portion of the trails and I am passing that recommendation on to you. With sunshine in the forecast, you may even see us up there again, taking in the beauty of these three leaved, three petaled, "trinity flowers."
