I dont know how I lived here almost thirty years without knowing there was a small rainforest about a five minute drive away. Maybe because it was hidden behind an upscale housing development, but it was only about a week ago that I discovered it was now designated a county park, and had trails running through it. In honor of #ForestFriday (which is something that may or may not exist but, if the latter, I just created it), here is a record of my first couple of hikes through only a small part of it.

I hope you'll take us through here again, or wherever you choose.
Thank you!

I wonder how much of this green paradise was cut down to build the upscale houses.
