while walking on the beach I found this plant...2 along the edge of the water and this taller one back a few feet. Does any one know what this is?

nice...thank you!

thanks to all of you responding....sometimes you do take for granted the little things in your own back yard. As I write this Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz came to mind. The lake services as my "Piney Fix" when I can't get out into the "big" woods. I am amazed at all that's here in less than...

I don't know about you folks but we don't have ac...so with this past week in the upper 90's to 100 degrees and the lake not even being refreshing I started looking at pics from this past winter. Please feel free to add some of your own.... ahhhhh!

This past week's walk found a Coppery St John's Wort (?), both Meadow Beauty and Maryland Meadow Beauty. It's is amazing the color difference. I found A Dodder wrapping itself around a Meadow Beauty. Dodders are pretty interesting. Sweet Pepper Bush is in bud as well as Marsh Mallows. I went...

thank you....it was close to about 6 ft

I am wondering if the high pitch laughing and giggling little girls do triggered their attack. The sound to the canine is similar to prey in distress. We had an Akita, and we were told when we bought her that they are about the closest to wolves in their preditor response. When our were...

On 7/3 we paddled up the Mannamuskin from Cumberland Pond to the power lines. On the way back I noticed a very large shrub, both in circumference and height, loaded with yellow flowers. I haven't been able to ID it and was hoping someone here may know. Sorry the pictures aren't clearer...

The pictures are beautiful! Thanks for posting!

The last time I walked the beach I was harrassed by Red Wing Birds, this time I was followed by a dragon fly. It flitted from reed to grass all around me...either it wanted it's picture taken or was curious about what I was doing. Finally it sat still long enough for me to take it's picture...

Earlier this week I stopped at the beach before leaving for work The mist was still on the lake As I got out of the car, in the little wooded island on the sand road leading to the dam, I found Helleborine Orchids. While trying to ID them, I found these are not native to the pines but...

we were always told to get a large stick (in relation) to the snapper. get him to bite it in the middle, then move him out of the road.....it actually worked for me once. last summer I attempted to rescue a pretty good size snapper near Harrisville Pond. It wasn't cooporating and so I was...

I'm not sure if it was last year or the year before....but we saw a whole mess of them on Glossy Spung Road. Haven't seen any this year.

very interesting read...

The area was also blooming with Milkweed, Butterfly Weed, Swamp Candles,and Shasta Daisies. There were a couple of flowers that I couldn't ID. They are shown here.If anyone knows what they are, please let me know. Butterflies were nice enought to hold still so I could get their picture...

Not far from home is the Cedar Lake WMA. Cedar Lake when I was growing up was a privately owned lake that had a nice swimming beach and a bath house. The owners would allow the local boy and girl scout troops use the facilities on occasion. There is a rail bed near by that at one time the...

took another walk and didn't see anything more blooming until I gingerly pushed my way through the phragmites and was greeted by Swamp Candles. This was the first time I've seen them here. Milkweed was in bud as well as a button bush. I didn't hang around too long, redwing blackbirds were...

can't remember the name and it's been blacked out on the sign. the bar itself had been abandoned for years and was a ramshackled sight. it burned down about 5 years ago. what i am trying to find out is the name of the resturant on the pike that has the blank white sign out front. the...

I believe the spider is a golden orb spider. I love the pics of the orchids!

It's funny...for all the traffic along that section of the pike, none of the business along there seem to make a go at it. When I was a kid, Finnerty's was always busy. A sort while ago the doors were open and a few cars were out front, mostly on Friday's. Would see it on my way home from...
