Day 75: A fine day for a mini-hike

A fine day indeed, and we met with Andrew and Merewyn for a gentle hike around Minnekhada Regional Park out near Port Coquitlam. Lots of woodland flowers in bloom: bleeding heart, foamflower, fringe-cup, false lily-of-the-valley, piggyback plant, starflower (lots of starflower!) and some western columbine (or rain-flowers as the Haida people call them).

For one reason or another, most of the flower photos didn't really turn out, but we found one spectacular patch of spiky orange fungi growing on a log, and one of those photos turned out just right. We finished up the hike and found a gelato place to cool down.
