On what in this locale used to be the boundary of beach and the most lakeward beach ridge. Note the old concrete riprap that had been part of the seawall there.
This area of the northern nature preserve was subsequently removed by winter storm surf. Fortunately, it's being restored. See my description of this massive and much-needed project in Part 10 of this set.
If I were to choose one wildflower as the mascot or logo emblem for Illinois Beach State Park—and maybe for the whole Lake Michigan littoral as well—it would be this beautiful, ramifying, floriferous member of the shoreline dunelands ecosystem. It's Beach Wormwood, Artemisia campestris subsp. caudata.
As it so happens, this plant's aromatically endowed genus is one of the most fascinating in the Asteraceae (variously rendered as the Aster, Daisy, Sunflower, or Composite Family). Artemisia, named for the divine huntress of the ancient Greek pantheon, contains, along with this remarkable sand-dweller, Tarragon, Mugwort, Absinthe, and Big Sagebrush. The last of these is the shrub noted cowboy author Zane Grey dubbed "the purple sage." It does much to define the mythic landscape of the American Southwest).
Beach Wormwoods are biennial, so they sprout and gather their resources their first growing season, and then die back to their rootstocks at summer's end. But when they grow back their second and final year, they assume their full glory. As can be seen in the plant shown here.
The individual chartreuse flower heads are small and not all that striking, at least to non-botanists. But there's beauty in numbers. Their sheer multitude, densely arrayed on their panicle branches, is a lovely sight to anyone who appreciates the intricacies of plant architecture.

Slide from a set used to teach biology at Belleville Collegiate Institute and Vocational School, Belleville, Ontario, possibly in the 1920s. The original boxes were labelled 'Junior' and 'Senior', but the contents appear to have been mixed up.

這是抵達澳洲時
在FB發的第一張打卡照
周五夜心血來潮
用電腦重新調整了一下
左向右兩片海灘
分別是卧龍崗市的Wattamolla Beach
以及皇家國家公園的Marley beach
而本班機正轉向至畫面右方的植物學灣
我們即將降落
緊鄰此灣的雪梨國際機場

植物學灣 Botany Bay
1770年4月29日
在完成紐西蘭沿海航行後
詹姆斯·庫克上校搭乘努力號帆船抵達此處
並從這裡踏上了澳洲大陸
隨後此處成為了英國政府的計劃流放地
但第一批歐洲移民
最終選擇了植物學灣稍北的雪梨灣作為定居點
然後不是蘋果執行長那個庫克
