Same path but the reverse

It was hard to turn back, but it was getting late. However, different things are always seen on the same path. Why? Because now you have a new side to view or you were looking left when stuff was on the right side. 🙂 It was much harder to take a movie without Jeanne. However,…

A beautiful sunny day led me to the grasslands on the 13th. And I only required a couple layers of light clothing. Unlike today with wind gusts of 31 mph and the high of 44 degrees. Indeed, brrrrr! This device corkscrews itself into the ground like a seed This bioinspired seed carrier has an 80…

Ok, I know you are dying to know, did I stay out of the mud. Well, I did manage to not get any mud on my shoes at this point. So my goal number one was still on track. 😉 Of course, staying out the mud was easy in the leaf litter of the woods….

Had to

Had to

I definitely had to go to the grasslands yesterday afternoon. Furthermore, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect and that is why I had to! So I had two goals. One, stay out of the mud. Second, was to see if the Blue Funnel-lily’s (Androstephium caeruleum) leaves might be sprouting. So far I had managed…
