Late Season in the Eddys














Leopard lilies flame above the dry skeletons of corn lily on the Parks Creek/Deadfall Lake trail section of the PCT.

Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale), bog lily, tall onion and yarrow still bloom in the fen fields at the top.



Prostrate yew, Pacific rhododendron, sneezeweed, cobra lilies and leopard lilies grace the flank of a spring on the Caldwell Lakes trail nearby.


Gentian bursts blue from the cobra lily fen.
















Bistort maybe?  and Cirsium andersonii (Anderson's thistle) in the decomposed granite of the trail.
