White Baneberries, also aptly called “dolls eyes,” are a toxic perennial that grow in woodlands throughout the eastern US and Canada. This example was found in the Green Mountain National Forest on the Appalachian Trail.

Image of the Day – Grafton Notch State Park

A gorge cut by rushing waters from a melting glacier about 14,000 years ago. Grafton Notch State Park hosts a mountainous section of the Appalachian Trail and is a jumping off point for dozens of miles of backcountry trails, but primeval scenes like this one are also available to day hikers a short walk away from the road.
