These first 2 pics show blooming white Rose of Sharon. The Grove is covered in them this time of year, but they're difficult to get close to since they grow right on the lakeshore amid all the muck. So this is the closest I could get. You can get a better idea by clicking on the images. The white flowers are large with a magenta-red center and grow about 6 feet high.
The Rose of Sharon is actually a variety of hibiscus. Click here to learn more and see detail pics.
Next is a pic of a large fallen tree that I found interesting. It's fallen into a deep stream bed. I like the lines it creates and the contrast in dark and light.
This lush green carpet is made of creeping cedar, also known as creeping juniper, running cedar and other names. You can find patches of this evergreen throughout the Grove year-round.
Last is a shot of the Stone Circle, with its central marker. I've posted on this before, and I assume this is a natural formation. It's a favorite spot of mine for meditation.
