Touch Me Not
They’re colorful and they’re everywhere right now, but don’t touch them because their hair can be very irritating to the skin. If they do contact the skin, applying adhesive tape over the area and then pulling it away will remove any hairs. Next, gently wash with soap and water. Of course the natural instinct isContinue reading “Touch Me Not”
Prenatal Pineapple
After enduring bitter cold under cloth covers warmed by electric lights, the pineapple plants have started to bloom and pineapples will follow in due time. Sweet dreams! #pineapple #sweetdreams
Muster the Bluster

We had seen many arrowheads on display at the school in the past,Continue reading “Past and Present”
Stone-faced
A strange, stony face appeared to be watching as we passed by on trail. Creepy! A closer look, however revealed that the “eyes” were fossil seashells, which also accented the “nose” and “mouth.” While the brain wanted to see a face, the components were fossils from a time when nothing could have imagined that creaturesContinue reading “Stone-faced”
Mushroom Manor
These content little mushrooms seem to be peeking from their “apartments” that were kindly created by their feathered, wood-pecking friends. There appear to be a couple of vacancies on the lower levels. #stump #mushrooms #fungi #woodpeckers
