Added November 2013 - PHOTOS OF PLANTS, TREES, SHRUBS, LICHENS, FUNGI ETC. (Searchable) - almost 2500 photos, most with some kind of identification. Search by English or scientific name, location, or anything else that might show up in the captions of the photos. Handy for plant ID! A very new collection with an occasional so-so photos among the better ones. Captions and other info not 100 percent complete yet, and will be worked on from time to time.

1980s WILDFLOWER ARTICLES - descriptions of some local plants, as published in a local newspaper in 1986 (the photos look much better here!)

Reports on some areas I've explored - mainly without trails (no photos... yet...)
