Greek Valerian
Can you tell why I was excited to see the Greek Valerian? ...and also why I love using the B-Macro with this camera? Shot from about 12", @ 56.5mm to get the whole flower in the frame.

Along the gas well access road...
...and around the bend from the previous Greek Valerian appeared many different wildflowers.
Greek Valerian, Dutchman's Breeches, Squirrel Corn, and Spring Beauties can be seen in this image.

Trillium Grandiflorum
This one was growing on the southern side of the gas well access road. The majority of them grow on the opposite side, primarily beneath a steep rock bluff that ends at the Rails to Trails as the next image will show.

Steep drop to Rails to Trails...
...as described in the previous image. This opening provided a clear view to the Rails to Trails 75+/- feet below.

Blue-eyed Mary
...growing right on the edge of the bench and above the rock bluff.
