May Hikes

 Along Davies Road in the OSU Research Forest. We probably hike seven or eight miles a week--basically running to the forest each time we are all together and it's remotely dry--but I took pictures this time as a representation of how we roll these days.

 Sophie holds my hand because it's suddenly a "Spooky Forest"--there could be elephants ya know.
 Dad and Eloise are often a team.
 Claire finds walking sticks which need to be abandoned each time they become Sophie-Hitting sticks.
 The cheese face which always accompanies the request for snacks.
 The girls found a lavender color variant of Oregon Wild Iris (usually deep purple--but that's why it's a research forest!).


 Summit shot--the whole Willamette Valley is laid out behind us.
 Sophie in an attitude of adoration.
 The girls found a mutated twin daisy. They called it the "Sharing Together Flower."
