...in the maple forest along the north shore of Lake Kagawong.

Cold and cloudy morning, but warmed by a small fire in the stove and a dose of Bubba’s World Famous Waffles. Sun back out by one, so a trip to the maple forest where Mud Creek meets the north shore of Lake Kagawong—and where it is possible to walk among a possibly uniquely massive spread of Trillium grandiflorum. But we were early this year, with only some of the flowers open and some still in bud. Which means we can look forward to returning in a week or two. (Trillium breaks bud and flowers forth before the maples have fully leaved out, thus blocking most of the sunlight from the forest floor.)
