Some of the #footpath #NatureTrails we walked on today 😊 It was sure nice to see no other humans in the park. We enjoyed a lot of nature delights, loved all the birds calling & singing, saw a squirrel & muskrat in creek areas & had a lovely time together ❤️

First #IndianPlums spotted.
The #berries eaten in small quantities - fresh, cooked or dried. Some #BritishColumbia #FirstNations made a purgative tonic out of the bark. Their crushed leaves smell like cucumbers.

Good soil-binding qualities on moist sites. Possible #BioEngineering species (Washington State Department of Ecology, 1993).

Walking through #GarryOak #meadows & wetland marshes are to the right. Small #footpath to stroll. Still some purple #camas out.

En route home & will be uploading more photos, shortly. We had the whole park to ourselves - only wildlife sharing spaces today 😊
