Happy Birthday Abbey!

So I'm refraining from posting ANOTHER picture of a flower, especially since the flower picture I wanted to post is a Passion Flower. Abbey turned 25 today, Happy Birthday Ab. For the first time in my life, I got to witness a flower bloom. It lasted about 10 minutes, and in those minutes I watched each intricate part of the flower open up right before my eyes. It was beautiful and I enjoyed taking about 30 pictures of this process. Instead of those, I chose a couple from our adventures today. We took a hike near Helen Hunt Falls, above it to the 'Silver Falls' where I found this little pool of water that was above the falls. The other picture is of a tree root that was growing out of the ground and had incredible detail and markings.
