Timed perfectly, the rain ended as I ascended Coppermine trail |

had a hard time catching a distant scarlet taranger |

nut flowers |

black and white warbler |

soon to |

fine |

wide views |

I detour onto rattlesnake |

giving me a glimpse of catfish pond |

lovely marsh outlet |

fine little pond |

enjoyed by frogs |

tall corydalis on the ridge |

I pose at my lunch spot view |

back via catfish fire tower |

chipping sparrow |

lots of singing by a pairie warbler |

beautiful columbine |

and a lovely descent |

on the coppermine trail |
