Photos from camp
A few weekends ago, we celebrated my dad's birthday at my parents' camp in Roxbury, Maine. It's a beautiful camp -- it's a very small house that someone used to live in all year round, so it has all the amenities like heat and running water :3 And more bathrooms that our house has! XD It's such a cozy, comfy place, and the area is BEAUTIFUL. We drove to a state park one day and I took a whole bunch of pictures.
As we were driving around in the state park, I made my dad stop the car whenever I saw something cool that I wanted to photograph XD The first was this interesting grey and rust-red mushroom.
Next I was like "OMG A WILDFLOWER I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE" and I made them stop again. My mom said, "Oh, that's a trillium." I've never seen one, but she told me they're protected, like the lady's slippers that used to grow in the woods near our house when I was little.
When we parked to take a walk, my dad showed us these HUGE swathes of bluets. He'd tried to take pictures of them the last time he was there. Seriously, the entire lawn was white with them.
I have a huge fondness for bluets <3 This year, my dad instituted a birthday rule that states that other people get presents on his birthday too (omg, I love him) and he got all of us hiking sticks! So cool. Here's Rachel posing with ours.
And my adorable parents, wandering down a woodland path.
All of the ferns were just starting to uncurl when we were there. I can't get over their tiny, delicate leaflets.
Love of my life <3
There was a great big rock by one of the beaches that she insisted we climb all over.
A hidden Forest Katie!
The woods around the beaches were filled with trilliums. I kept stopping and pointing them out and taking pictures XD This one has four petals! Is that like a four-leafed clover, I wonder?
The next day, we went to Buster's Beach, which is about five minutes from the camp. It was beautiful and peaceful.
Awwwwww they are SO CUTE! I have hardly any pictures of my parents, so I was happy to get this one.
Prettiest person I know.
This is my dad explaining things and telling some kind of story about wherever he's pointing. Pretty much that's his primary occupation XD
And my mama enjoying the peacefulness of the lake.
We came across some plants that had little bits of rain from the night before caught in their cups. I was fascinated and had to be dragged away XD
We walked down the boat launch. The water was such a vibrant blue.
Favorite subject :3
