My first blooming plant of the year, skunk cabbage on the boardwalk portion of the swamp trail! There is no snow below 1100'. On this sunny day, there were many birds singing in the spring of 2023.

Thanks! The xenvo 15x and the apexel 10x both work well and fairly easily with phones. They are both about $40. With both it is a little painy to get them to focus where I want with my Samsung S21. As always with close-ups on phones, I take lots of photos from different distances and angles and hope that a few turn out :-).

Thanks for your reports! They have helped inspire me to plan hikes along the Columbia that I have never hiked before.
