Inspired by Nature

After a native plant walk with Virginia Master Naturalists and members
of the Native Plant Society, George and I decided to finish hiking the rest
of the trail.

There's nothing like a hike in the woods to inspire you. Here, it's not really the woods,  but the 5-mile Noland Trail on the grounds of The Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Va.

Encountered along the way.

Master Naturalist and native plant expert Susie Yager led 23 people on a native
 plant walk along a portion of the Noland Trail on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2015. She pointed out not only
 native plants and trees, but plants that have been introduced to the area.
