Hike at Germantown Reserve

 Yesterday Tom and I took a long hike at the Germantown Reserve. It was hot (82°) and extremely humid (we had several inches of rain on June 24). Friday night we had another storm which dumped 3/4" and left the trails muddy and eroded. Still, it was a tranquil hike (we passed only two other groups of hikers) and worth the time to enjoy the early summer wildflowers.

 Here are a few of the highlights ...

A tiny daisy 

This flower was minuscule, maybe 1/4: across
