10.16.2020 Fabulous Frog Friday Flashback For Frog Fans
I gave my usual frog haunts a couple of looksees at the end of the vacation week and found only one in a not very attractive setting. Not even Photoshop could make it share worthy so to the archives we … Continue reading
07.13.2020 Wood Lily
I mentioned to Ann Mackay the other day that we have two very colorful wild and native lilies locally. The Canada Lily, featured in that post, and the Wood Lily-Lilium philadelphicum featured today. This is a shot from 2009 that … Continue reading

As I mentioned yesterday, I did find a more local plant but I was well late. It is good to know where to find it next year though. In the meantime, here’s a shot from 2007 that’s a nice memory. … Continue reading

Possibly my last Lady’s Slipper post for the season. Unless I find something special like this. Usually I find Lady’s Slippers early in the am before the sun has hit the sky which keeps the breezes under control and the … Continue reading
05.31.2014 A successful hike
I overslept this morning again. This is getting to be a bad habit. Too bad too because the sky to the north looked fabulous in a soft pastel way. But that was not my goal for today. I almost went … Continue reading
