Fountainbleu Nature Trail (Part 2)

 

I wish I had captured the sounds as there were lots of birds chirping during our hike. I really enjoyed the shady glades with the ferns as it got pretty warm.

The habitat is known as a Pine Savanna and it's very important to our ecosystem. You can read more about it here. The Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge does controlled burns to help the pines. 

I really want to do another hike soon as you see different things as different times of the year. 

I think this is a wild hydrangea. I really wish I had taken notes during the hike. ~Sandra, reporting for ATCAD
