This weeks smorgasbord of photos.


Thank you Becky for the beautiful piece of artwork. This shot from nature made me think of your artwork. The shape, colors and texture. Thanks again.


This guy and thousands of other like it were an all to common sight in northern Wisconsin this summer. An infestation with crop damage.


Not a very attractive moth but still a great photo op.



This is one of the small "crops" of apples we picked yesterday. This branch has produced 10-15 apples each year since it was grafted to our crab apple tree. We had to harvest it earlier than we would have like to but one of our four legged furry friends kept sampling the goods. A bite here and a bite there then drop it to the ground. It took us several days to catch on to what was happening. I didn't know squirrels like apples. They (the apples not the squirrels) sure made a great pie. I'll bet it will taste even better tomorrow.

Do squirrels taste like chicken? Fair warning my furry friends! Meat eaters live in this house.


This has been ID as a Buckeye Tree. Nice call JM. For additional info click here. This photo was taken in Port Wing Wisconsin in a yard.


Thanks to WG (see posts) This plant has been ID as common comfrey (Symphytum officinale). For more info click here. This photo was taken in an open field surround by goldenrod and blackberry canes.

Nice pics. The rolling Twins partay moves to Rhinelander, Wisco, today. I'll be partayed out so will drive back this p.m. Later.

about the mystery flower...I think it may be common comfrey (Symphytum officinale)...not a native flower..can come in white or yellow, and also pink and blue.

At first I thought it might be a type of lobelia, but not the great blue lobelia...
