Wild Azalea, Cinnamon Fern, Tulip Trees 2026-04-02

A stroll after breakfast into the Desolation of Helene.

I didn’t video many of the blown-down pines, oaks, maples, etc. Some of them I will saw later to re-open some of the paths. Hurricanes: I do not like them.

Meanwhile, there are native wild azaleas, sphagmum moss, crawfish, cinnamon fern, and a few still-standing tulip trees.

Plus muddy dogs, two of them visible; the other two showed up shortly.

Here are some video clips:
