Mind’s Eye

What meets the eye versus what comes to mind. HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY! #passing #trail #warning

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 is…

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

Yesterday, after about 45 minutes in the pool in the warm sunshine, clouds blew in with a chill that chased us out of the water.

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 creatures…

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
