Killington 

I’ll be slowly climbing this ski resort mountain today. Hot and sunny.

Today has been pleasant with lots of late blooming plants.

Please let me know if you recognize any of these

    Good Day, Kevin! It is fun to follow your adventure. (Bears, oh my!)
    Your commentary and photos are wonderful. (two white butterflies were my favorite.)
    Thanks for sharing online. Hope you will stay dry today.

    I’m discovering my botany identification skills are not what I thought they were! So no help from me. But I continue to be astounded by the beauty all around you. I am grateful for your continued efforts to show us the big vistas, as well as the smaller things which many people overlook. I don’t envy the heat and humidity you must be experiencing today. I’m wishing for better weather so you get a much deserved reprieve.

      Thanks, Linda. Bending down with a backpack on to photograph a mushroom from an optimal angle is building up muscles that I didn’t know I had!!

    Junco- stay cool as you can. Trying to id some of the plants/flowers: Here are my thoughts- The pink flower is a type of wild geranium, red berries- honeysuckle; yellow flowers- St. Johnswort. The green stalks are the fruiting bodies of Staghorn Clubmoss. That’s all I got. Keep on keeping on.

    Hi – your photos (as always) are wonderful. The 1st (pinkish) flower looks like a variety of wild geranium, or “cranesbill”. Safe traveling!
