The Way of the Geezer: False Hellebores

Mike leaves the Mountain Tea campsite early and heads on up to Woodchuck Lake. There's a high overcast resulting in muted forest light. Although not wet, much of the area still has somewhat dampish soil. Also found: a quantity of False Hellebores lining the trail (one of Mike’s favorite subjects.)
