George Washington National Forest
After four days of rain, we were glad to have a day of alternating clouds and
sunshine. Charlie and I were both ready to get out in nature, so I drove to
the nearby forest on Massanutten Mountain.
The mountain laurel is in bloom. I also photographed a bright yellow
flower, which the app on my phone says it is Chrysogonum virginianum. Its common names include goldenstar and green-and-gold.
The rains had brought extra water to a small creek.
A creek along Chrisman Hollow Road was out of its banks, with trees standing in the water.
More rain is forecast for tomorrow. I can’t complain because farmers really need the drought to end.
