I am blogging from my property in the Appalachian foothills of Southeastern Ohio in beautiful Hocking Hills. I live in a large hardwood and pine grove forest I named Whispering Pines. I commonly refer to this property as "The Pines". Stay tuned as I report the wild things from here at the Pines.

More Sights at Whispering Pines

Finally, found 2 Morel Mushrooms, they are yummy as well as beautiful.  The Mayapples grow in huge groups all over, they are just beginning to flower, along with some other regulars - Violets, Spring Beauties and Bluets.  Another abundant member of the woodland floor are the Fiddlehead Ferns, shown below accompanying the Mayapples.
