Depending on the season, constants of The Point include: lots of skunk cabbage, ferns, beautiful spring wildflowers, devil's club, small berry patches here and there, Sitka spruce, hemlock, mountain hemlock, alder, grasses, mosses, dogwood, and many other plants common to Southeast AK. I marvel at the abundance of the color green in all its variations. Smells, both refreshing and not so (skunk cabbage and chocolate lily) are abundant, each highlighted at different times throughout the growing season.
