Beavers Bend State Park in Oklahoma! We are here for a few days. It is hard to load photos so I will try to get at least one photo a day.

This was a new species for me…Monarda russeliana!

Wow, that's beautiful! Happy trails!
Wow my old stomping grounds. Gary & I used to camp and hike another hour north of there every year for almost 30 years. That Monarda was always a spring beauty to see. Love it and thanks for the memory jogging.

Kathy, Did y’all ride /hike/camp in the forest? I doubt we make it it any further than the state park this time;-). Great place! Can see why you kept coming back.
