On a recent visit to North Carolina, Betsy and I left the interstate to drive into the Harmon Den Wilderness Area in search of a waterfall. After driving along Forest Service roads for nearly four miles, we started hiking up a trail toward the waterfall. Unfortunately we were on the wrong trail (we later found the correct one), but we did find this pretty wildflower.

I love the randomness and punch of color wildflowers give the landscape.
The 'wrong' trail? And yet you found this incredible colour!! Maybe we need to redefine 'wrong'!!!
i am a big fan of wild flowers, love them all and this purple with all that detail is beautiful.
Who knows there are wonders in the assumed to be wrong sides.
Beautiful, time to crack open the flower I.D. books!
Ohhhh, WOW! Love this beautiful wildflower! Macro shot is amazing!
Sounds like a great hike, even if you are on the wrong trail...lol.

Good eye. That little flower is so preciously adorned. I think your use of light and exposure is perfect.
I love wild flowers!
Look what beauty you would have missed had you been on the right trail.
So delicate and beautiful.
another gift while you hike!
I love the discoveries you can make while on the 'wrong' trail! :)
Nice shot. These little flowers give us such good exercise, what with all the squatting it takes to get down on their level. Even on the wrong path, you found the right shot.
i love wildflowers.
absolutely loved seeing this!
such a beautiful photo of a purple wildflower!
Even the wrong side get the right flower like this. Very beautiful flower in pretty color! Fabulous.
So pretty! Is it a wild geranium?
Pretty pic.
You both were led in the wrong trail for a different kind of beauty.
Have a nice weekend.

That purple is lovely against that green!
I was looking along our rural road today and realizing there are more wildflowers than I know. I'm going to pick a few and try to ID them.
I love wildflowers. They are so perfect and stunning and yet so small people hardly notice them. Taking the time to stop and look closely is always so worth it!
