Okay, here's a cultivated columbine.

Could you possibly give us another photo? And spare the monitor at the same time . . . :) Glo

Thank you, Ed. You're right--there's plenty of material here for a book. I'm tempted. But the publishing world is in worse shape right now than the banking world. And GM. Etc. So I'll have to file the info and use a few details as the need arises. Glo

I thought so too, but was confused by how large the bloom is, how ornate, and the way it seems to be growing in a sunny spot. (???) Legendary Bob, where are you? Glo

Good thing you had to hang around while the frogs warmed up, Whip-- good for us, anyway. These are lovely photos. Can't decide which I like best: the first and last, definitely; and then there's #5. And #7 also . . . Oh, I'll take one of each. Thank you! Glo

As Grendel said, that snake's a beauty. I've read about pine snakes but haven't seen one up so close. Aren't they threatened or endangered? Did it hiss? Thanks for the lady slippers too. I think they're prettiest when just emerging, as you caught them. Glo

I've been looking forward to seeing this report. Seems like--once more-- y'all had a good time in spite of the heat, met the challenge, and survived to plan again. I've learned a bit about briars now . . . I like the sadly-tilting lady slipper and your macro turtle with claws that are even...

"Sometimes I think and wonder at what could have been all the features of this place before civilization and European eyes scanned it." A fascinating bit of history. And how he would "think and wonder" to see it now! Glo

Okay, that answers the question I was going to send you, Ed. :) Glo

Thanks Jim, and Guy. Very interesting research, Guy. Glo

A fun photo. Like an early PBX group! What was the Monster used for, do you happen to know? Glo

I'm impressed, Mudboy Dave. You must read a LOT. Tender romances . . . and even quilting books! Glo

Another reason to move to the Pines! Your wisteria appears to be limited to one small bract at a time. Here, it strangles trees with long tangled cords as thick as my wrist and blooms in horrific abundance. Even worse, it grows everywhere it pleases without waiting to be planted. :( Was the...

Elegant! And an interesting name. Thanks, Bob. Glo

Ooops, I forgot--he is a caving-man! Pre-flood caveman??? G

Thank you. This looks interesting. Besides, it's too late to work any more tonight. :) Glo

Actually, I "trampled on through" by carefully drafting behind Al. He vanquished the briars with a vengeance, mowing them down ahead of me. Of course we often got separated, and, less valorous, I tried to step around them instead of declaring war. I didn't notice that about the photos until...

What a sad story. I wonder what's behind that song--it seems to have so many nuances. Thanks for the info, Oji. Glo

Good one! Glo

Thanks for this song, Oji. It's lovely. Had to google it to get the lyrics, but they're pretty cool. What's the story behind it? Are the place-names real? They sound European, and moor-hen speaks to me of England. Glo
