or perhaps "blighted still life"

Last week I posted a flower decorated truck used as a lawn ornament - this is the opposite - lawn blight!

Happy Truck Thursday!

 

Taken on a walk this morning. Backyard shed seen along the way.

Also called Boogie Woogie Aphids due to waving their wooly abdomen when disturbed.

Abandoned factory building. And truck left behind.

This slightly rusted old pickup -is tucked away for a winter and part of the neighborhood blight!

 

Happy Truck Thursday!

The aphid produces from its abdomen profuse wax fibers that give it a woolly appearance. If you tap the branch they are one they will wave the wool and appear to dance, probably to ward off enemies.

Not too far from you Dennis, sorry I didn't have time to contact you. This was near Prairie Moon Native Plant Nursery where we had The Prairie Enthusiast annual picnic and bimonthly board meeting. It was a 7 1/2 hour roundtrip and you know I stretched it to well over 8 hours by taking the long way home.

Getting warmed up for Halloween...

Our trip comes to an end and we are already starting to walk down from the trail to Bukowe Berdo in Bieszczady mountains :)

 

The Bukowe Berdo (Beech Berdo) is a mountain range, constituting an elongated range crowned with a mountain pasture with three culminations: Szołtynia (1201 m above sea level), Połonina Dzwiniacka (1238 m above sea level), and the last Beech Berdo (1311 m above sea level). It is characterized by a large presence of sandstone rocks. The peak parties are occupied by the mountain pastures. From above, especially from the highest peak, there is a wide view of the north and east, mainly to the Ukrainian areas. The dorsal parts below Połonina Dźwiniacka are overgrown with a shrubby rowan form, which is particularly effective in the autumn when its fruits ripen red. Occurs here, among others a few very rare species: eastern Carpathian peas, Broadleaf, Sedge sedge, Rock sedge, Matrix blight.

 

Bieszczady Mountains is a mountain range that runs from the extreme south-east of Poland and north-east of Slovakia through to western Ukraine. The highest peak of Bieszczady is Mt Pikui (1405 m) in Ukraine. The highest peak of the Polish part is Tarnica (1346 m). The vegetation zones, which are typically observed in other mountain ranges with a similar character, are significantly different in Bieszczady. Among the tree species found in the Park, the beech-tree dominates the forests, with an admixture of sycamore and fir trees, the Carpathian beechwood complexes are formed and those cover the slopes and valleys, while alder forests occur along streams. Beechwood forests grow up to 1,150 m above sea level and they are neighboring directly the mountain pastures, interspersed with bilberry, cowberry, grass, alder and rowan. There is no subalpine spruce forest in Bieszczady. Animal life in these mountains is abundant with several species of endangered animals thriving in the area, among them brown bears, grey wolf, European wildcat, wild boar, European beavers, European otter, and European lynx as well as deer (such as moose) and European bison (over 500 live in the area). The park contains interesting bird species, including eagles and owls, and is home to the largest Polish population of Aesculapian snakes.

Nasza wycieczka dobiega końca i powoli schodzimy już ze szlaku na Bukowe Berdo :)

 

Bukowe Berdo – masyw górski w polskich Bieszczadach w postaci podłużnego pasma o trzech kulminacjach: 1201 (Szołtynia), 1238 (Połonina Dźwiniacka) oraz 1311 m (Bukowe Berdo). Charakteryzuje się liczną obecnością piaskowcowych skałek. Szczytowe partie zajmuje połonina. Z góry, szczególnie z najwyższego wierzchołka, rozciąga się rozległy widok na północ i wschód, głównie na tereny ukraińskie. Partie grzbietowe poniżej Połoniny Dźwiniackiej masowo porasta krzewiasta forma jarzębiny, co szczególnie efektownie wygląda jesienią, gdy dojrzeją na czerwono jej owoce. Występuje tutaj m.in. kilka bardzo rzadkich gatunków roślin: groszek wschodniokarpacki, dzwonek szerokolistny, turzyca dacka, turzyca skalna, zaraza macierzankowa.

 

Bieszczady - grupa dwóch pasm górskich w łańcuchu Karpat znajdujące się na terenie Polski i Ukrainy. Najwyższy szczyt Bieszczadów to Pikuj (1405 m n.p.m., na Ukrainie) zaś na terytorium Polski – Tarnica (1346 m n.p.m.). Wyróżnikiem przyrody bieszczadzkiej jest inny niż w sąsiednich grupach górskich układ pięter roślinnych. Wśród gatunków drzew występujących na terenie Parku dominuje buk z domieszką jaworu i jodły, tworzą się kompleksy buczyn karpackich, które pokrywają zbocza i doliny, a wzdłuż potoków występują olsy. Lasy bukowe dorastają do 1150 m n.p.m. i sąsiadują bezpośrednio z pastwiskami górskimi, przeplatane borówką, brusznicą, trawą, olszą i jarzębiną. W Bieszczadach nie ma subalpejskiego lasu świerkowego. W Bieszczadach występują rośliny i zwierzęta niespotykane w innych częściach Polski, a zwłaszcza takie, które lubią ciepło, np. największy europejski wąż Eskulapa. Dobrze zachowane pierwotne lasy bukowe stanowią prawdziwy raj dla zwierząt. Żyją w nich m.in. żubry, jelenie karpackie, niedźwiedzie, wilki, rysie, żbiki, bocian czarny, orzeł przedni, a od 2007 roku również koniki polskie.

An abandoned barn I shoot now has some new friends nearby. Sad...

Disused storefront. Could be on the main street of any small town in the U.S. The advent of large chain retailers drove many small businesses into extinction. This one happens to be in Lawn, Texas.
