For someone who thoroughly enjoys the outdoors, I’m always amazed at my lack of knowledge regarding the flora adorning the trails. As if walking through a Monet, the flowers add all shades of colour and the hike would surely be bland without them, in a way they are the background that allows the mind to wonder.
After many years of constant hiking and taking photos of nearly everything, the bright idea of documenting the often overlooked plants finally dawned on me. By no means is this a thorough guide, but it is an attempt to turn the lens on the beautiful organism seldom appreciated and hidden quite literally under our feet.
