We went on a couple shorter hikes in Lassen Volcanic National Park earlier today. It was very peaceful. I thought I’d brighten your Saturday with some of the photos. Above is Reflection Lake with Chaos Crags, and Lassen Peak in the background.

Does anyone know what this is? I would love to know! It looks kind of like a fungi, or mushroom? It grew in abundance around Reflection Lake.

Chaos Crags, with rain clouds almost touching the peak.

The highway is still closed through the park. It’s expected to open next weekend. Fingers crossed 🙂 I can’t wait! Those trails, and views, that’s been hidden by snow over the winter, is like a long time lost friend, that I’m about to see very soon.

This post is part of the Weekly Photo Challenge; Liquid. I hope that your weekend got of to an amazing start!

 

Love,

Ms Zen

It’s all about experiences, and the healing power of nature. Life is about choosing happiness. I entered the magic world of photography when I was five years old. My gypsy soul have taken me to many different countries, and definitely taught me to be more humble. I believe that you are what you eat, body and soul. I enjoy growing my own food, and spending time outdoors. My German Shepherd is always by my side. Horses is a very important part of my life. Above everything else is my daughter. A Sagittarius loves to travel, have an open mind and, and a philosophical view. It motivates them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Sagittarius is extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. A lot of that perfectly describes me. The fact that my ancestors, on both parents sides, were vikings, doesn’t exactly lessen my desire to explore. Maybe a slightly more mindful exploring, compared to the average viking. My blog, and my art prints is a results of my (inner and outer) explorations. Love, Ms Zen

  1. Such beautiful scenery! You’re fortunate to live so close to it.
    Your mystery plant may be (Sarcodes sanguinea) Snow Plant, of the Ericaceae (Heath Family). Your photo looks like it is just emerging. It parasitizes pine roots and I see pine needles in your photo, so that may be it.

    1. Thank you Eliza. I am very thankful to have this National Park close by. I believe you’re right, that it is snow plant. 3 people commented on Facebook saying it was. I learned something new 😊 there was hundreds of them emerging. Parasites on pine roots, how interesting. Does it kill the tree? I’m going to read up about snowplants. Thank YOU 🙏
