Okay, I haven't really dedicated a lot of time to my blog recently. There were a few days at the start of May when I was laid up sick and didn't type one word. But now I hope to change that after I did a Wildflower Hike on Buffalo Mountain. My main purpose was to get my first look at some Mountain Laurel. But I also got lucky and spotted some Pink Lady Slippers, plus a number of other wildflowers I hadn't seen this year. I also went to the Huckleberry Knob and its view of Johnson City and Tip-Top. So, below are pictures from my day out this week...enjoy!
