Kind of pretty until you see the dragonfly version. :) Then it's simply stunning.

It's just downright heartening to hear from someone who actually does something about those pitch pines begging to be leaned upon. :) And it's heartening to hear that the grays and other denizens of the bog (minus aircraft) are alive and still crooning in serendipitous places. But your...

Loved following this trip of yours, Jeff, and the turtle discussion too. Once again, from your way-out-there-wild exploration I get a sense of the lavish and fierce beauty of the Pines. Any chance of your posting those dead turtle shots? Glo

My thanks to you also, Spung-Man, for your input. --Plus the tasty morsel above. I usually drive in through Richland (ice cream, anyone?) following the family tradition; now we can stop for barbeque as well. My husband will love this news. Glo

And show us? I agree, would be quite cool. Glo

Your "ramble" is a good read, Largo. Thank you for the glimpse into your thoughts and memories. Glo

Don't look now, but I think Jerseyman has some amazing and arcane use for a coat hangar that he's waiting to spring on us. Sure, I'll beg . . . Please, sir, I need it for my book. :dance: Glo

This thread is rapidly accumulating points for "most entertaining." Guy, you've contributed much to my PB education and now you've managed to extend it so-o-o much further.:mrgreen: ECampell and Jerseyman, those excellent researchers, should be proud of your investigative spirit. I hope...

Okay y'all, I'm going to file this whole thread--I've been wondering too. Thanks to Spung-man for superb explication and to Jerseyman for provoking him. :) And to Kevin for lighting a fire under both of them. Glo

So do we. My husband can create all kinds of handy gizmos from a wire coat hanger. I borrowed one for a story about a house in the Pines--it was a device for unlocking those old interior door locks when you've lost the key. I think he developed his talent over years of using safety wire on the...

Thanks, Jeff. I'm looking forward to watching them--but I'll have to wait until it works with Firefox. Glo

Both cams a great idea. What kind of turtles are these?

The texture and depth you get with the dew-sparkled shots is amazing. Must have been a heavy dew. The yellow lilies are pretty, but the Lab--that gorgeous Lab--steals the show . . . especially his water-dunked close-up. Thanks! Glo

Huh! I missed it . . . I like them tiny too. :) Your macro is all the more remarkable. Thanks! Glo

You did it, Guy! That is one fantastic ant! And so artistically posed. :) Looks like the PB ants grow plenty big too . . . or should I suspect enhancement? Here, our Lady Slippers are gone, so I'm enjoying yours. The railroad markers are interesting too. Looks like a really good trip. Glo

Facts? How about some journalistic objectivity? Self-pitying old man sounds like he had to pay a personal visit to all those melancholy snakes and half-expiring toads . . . He'd be the kind to leave his trash bags to languish among the "scrubby" Pines. :( Truculence marches all through this...

All this in one day! Amazing . . . and each photo has its particular charm. Killdeer chicks! Green Herons! Osprey-on-nest! I've never seen a Semipalmated Plover and they're plenty cute. Is there a Fullypalmated Plover? What does he have more of? Glo

Thanks for recording it, Ed. I hate to see this kind of stuff, but the more publicity, the better. Glo

Some great vistas there--makes it seem more like a really long hike. Thanks for the addition. Glo

And here's a wild columbine. (Don't know how to put two photos in the same post. And, if you're wondering, my monitor is also still intact. :) ) So they must be different. Points to you, Hawkin! I've never seen a wild one open up like that. I wonder where your C.C. came from? It certainly is...
