Stony Creek

We've been on a roll lately, celebrating our diverse and magnificent landbase---Del Norte County, California----first by attending several events at the California Redwoods Bird and Nature Festival, and then by continuing our explorations into areas we haven't been before: here, Stony Creek, where the exotic Lady's Slipper and Darlingtonia Lily (or Cobra Lily, a carnivorous plant) bloom profusely, enjoying habitat where they can keep their feet cool, and wowing us with the amazing close-up and distance views, just a short hike through the woods from the tiny village of Gasquet.
