Ohiopyle State Park in Western Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands is one of my go-to destinations, in part because it’s close to home, in part because it protects a deep, biologically-diverse mountain river gorge with seemingly endless water features, and in part because it’s one the first wild places I remember visiting with my parents. This morning, I hiked Jonathan Run Trail to the Great Allegheny Passage along the Youghiogheny River, a circuit featuring a half dozen or so significant waterfalls (a few requiring a bit of bushwhacking to reach). Some of the wildflowers currently in bloom in the gorge: wild geranium (Geranium maculatum), golden alexanders (Zizia aurea), downy phlox (Phlox pilosa), dwarf ginseng (Panax trifolius), and Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum). The next wave of wildflowers on the way: white clintonia lily (Clintonia umbellulata); and Indian Cucumber (Medeola virginiana).

Hi! Hope it's okay to ask but are you working on anything new for your ouran series?

hi!! it’s more than okay to ask! enjoy this snippet from the next fic i’m working on <3

It's Tamaki that asks you first. Valentine's Day is coming up and it's a big day for the host club, one of their busiest days of the year. Tamaki comes bounding up to you like an excited puppy, and you're immediately on the defensive. You've been around the eccentric frenchman for long enough to know his patterns by now. He wants something from you. He turns on the charm instantly, confirming your suspicions.

"Mon ami, you look positively radiant today. You simply must let me know your skincare routine." The look you shoot him is amused but focused.

"What do you want Tamaki?" Your friend deflates slightly at your tone, slowly sinking into the empty seat next to you. You place your pen down gently on the table, your attention solely on your friend. He snaps back to himself quickly, your bluntness having no impact on his mood.

"I have a favour to ask you. Or a proposition, really."

"Is it your idea? Or is it Kyoya's?" It’s a question you know he won’t take offense to; you’ve been friends for long enough that it’s a good way to gauge how thought through the idea actually is.

"All mine!" Pride exudes from him and part of you thinks this is what it must be like to be close to the sun. It's warming but you know there's something to be cautious about within it.

"Go ahead."

The common name refers to the five (or seven) leaflets, which are very characteristic of the tree, although there are three related species in the country that are similar in appearence.
