Ghost Flower

Today I though I would share an interesting find. Yesterday I took a walk in my local forested park and saw this strange, yet beautiful flower along the trail. My plant identification book lists this plant as very rare, so for me it was great to see.

This one is older, hence the blackening of the outer edges. This plant lives off the roots of nearby coniferous trees.

Finally some sunny weather!!

It's my first official post!! I have been wanting to start a blog for some time but didn't get around to it until now. I am a nearly 30 something graduate student looking for an outlet for my creativity. I love thrift store shopping, vintage clothing and decor, shopping locally and handmade as well as just enjoying all that Oregon has to offer.
Oh yeah, I have tons of freckles, including one on my lip which people tend to point out as if I hadn't noticed it yet, so yes I do know that I have a freckle on my lip.







It's been such a rainy spring this year. We finally had some hot summer weather (in the mid-70's maybe lower 80's) this weekend. My fiance, LeMont and I did some hiking in the Gorge. We hiked to Wahkeena Falls, then up past the falls to the creek that feeds into it.

Till Later,
