October Weather

Still Troubled

Bottled water is unnecessary.

The Walkerton incident in Ontario a few years ago was an opportunity for big business to play on people's fears to create a market for itself.

There's nothing wrong with our water!!!!

Wild Basil

I ate a leaf of this and it tasted like tame basil...only wilder - lol!

Shadows on Snow

It was so cold on this day last winter that at the end of my ski trek, the inside of my nylon shell was covered in frost. A good thing to think of on a hot day in the middle of summer.

The Swamp

You can see the course the stream used to flow along in this picture.

Joe Pye Weed

I wondered who Joe Pye was - here is a possibility:

"Joe Pye reputedly was an Indian healer who lived in colonial New England, and who used this herb to cure typhoid and other fevers. Another possible source of the name is jopi-an Indian word for typhoid so another name is jopiweed."
St. Olaf College

I think I favour the second idea...

The Same Bug

This is the same bug as the previous one, but showing the top of its wings. It's a type of butterfly and is called Least Skipper.
