Vanilla Leaf (Achlys triphylla)On Sunday, Justin and I went on another hunt for the, often elusive, Morel (Morchella spp.). The afternoon was not very "fruitful" in the fungi finding, but we did get to tromp along the ancient glacial waters of the Elwha River and among some youthful and ancient greenery. I tried to count the different shades of green, but there were too many. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, albeit moist.
On the way home, we filled up our growler with a tasty porter from Harbinger Winery to go with our infrequent and much enjoyed burger night. The meal was yet another reminder of what bounty the North Olympic Peninsula community has to offer. Yum.
Salal (Gaultheria shallon) and Vanilla Leaf (Achlys triphylla)
The rare and elusive Justin spp. listens to the wisdom of an ancient cedar (Thuja plicata).
A fine local feast, compliments of: Clark Farms, Harbinger Winery, Pane D' Amore, Lazy J Farm, Nash's Organic Produce, and Johnston Farms.
Feline friends, finally.
