I'm not sure what this flower is, but I thought it looked like a gigantic dandelion gone to seed. The kids and I met up on the trail and as we walked along, they saw this interesting tree. We think it must have grown up around or under something that's no longer there.
Then, right next to that tree, we saw this lean-to, teepee type thing with a white plastic table and some logs for seats.
I thought I'd give you a close-up of the kids having a lively conversation around the small plastic table. I'm sure that's what the original builder had in mind when she or he built this structure!
The sky began to look quite ominous, so we quickly hiked home. We weren't home more than a couple of minutes before the thunder started, followed by a downpour. We were very lucky this morning.

That is a lovely photo of the puffy flower you saw on your hike. And the tipi is kind of neat - like someone put it there just for your kids.
That is nice camera-work. Sorry I missed the hike.
I wish I'd been a fly on the wall of the teepee :)
Dad says we have a tree like that in the pine forest. Many years ago when the tree was little, snow bent it down. Then it grew from the bend. Perhaps something like that happened to that tree. Next time you're here, you can look at our tree.
