Lick Creek

Sunday I went on a short hike up Lick Creek on the North Forks of the Umatilla Wilderness. I've done other hikes in the area but this was the first time I took this one.
It being early spring, there were sprouting buds, new leaves and wildflowers everywhere. Here are a few things I saw: A tree dripping sap like a frozen waterfall and a new leaf catching the afternoon light so well, it stopped me on the trail.
