Al, the stem is roundish. That light stripe you see is just coloring on the stem, making it look like it has edges.

Yesterday was a good exploring day, not too hot. But the flies got real bad and I was stung by a bee on the inside of my finger (you know how that smarts). The Turks Cap lily was 7 feet tall--along the Papoose Branch, which I followed down to its confluence with the Oswego, the Jewel of the...

Update: I've had Windows 10 and Firefox since May. I'm really happy with both. My explorer virtually never freezes and they have a cool pop-up that comes up and asks if you want to use Flash just this one time for the window you are on (and they only do it if you need to see the video). I find...

Correct Don! And thanks for the story. Very cool.

Where is this. I'm sure many of you pass by it at least once a year. It is off a dirt road, about 30 feet from the road.

I'm sorry. I post these, and forget because I don't get a lot of guesses. The location of this tumbled shack is only 450 feet from the back end of the board walk at Webb's Mill. Suprising to me since I've lived here over 30 years, and did not notice it. I entered from the back by the notorious...

Guy, did she learn that from you? :) Do I see Narthecium right in front of her shirt? Did she have to get that close a look at it?

That much pollen this late in the year seems odd. Did you notice any smell? I suppose with no flow it's possible after many days of being stagnant.

Ed, any way you could tell what the color was? I'd think pollen, but maybe not. If pollen, what species?

Scott, I don't understand what you are saying. Is a lump a hump of sand? If so, why would the water be clear just over the lump?

Way past 4 July now! I found several Drosera filiformis flowers of that color in one location. There is something behind that. Key me in.

That ones gonna be a winner Guy! Measure the inflorescence when it's full, and we'll see if it can be topped in the future.

No, have not yet tried historic aerials, maybe tonite. And no, not in a blueberry field. It's within about 70 feet from a stream.

Here is an odd one. I'm surprised I did not know about this. It's in a pristine area.

Hot day.

Looks like a quality canoe in really good shape.

It is July already. Time rushes on.

Al, sorry, I have not looked at this thread for a day or so. Been busy. I also have a friends 17 foot aluminum Grunman that is a possibility. What say you? If anything it will scare the hell out of the beaver. Here is my kayak. I have trouble getting in and out of any vessel any more...

It's odd you mention that, because I've read that the smooth scales on racers do cause them to look shiny at times. I think its because they reflect light better. Maybe you have just not seen many in the bright light as I have. One reason I did not question that snake Saturday is because I was...

Al, you mention (as a differential) that rats are shiny black. But really, so are many racers, which is why I said racer right away. They can look shiny black and kind of flat sided. At first I said ribbon snake, but I really meant racer when I saw it.
