This far into August, it's unusual to see a marten in the garden so early in the evening – 8.50pm – but always welcome. Her recent visits have all been after 10pm when the light is too poor for the Pentax.
Water accumulates at the ends of the long ponderosa pine needles, forming droplets that hold together by surface tension.
Two slash pines stand out amidst thousands of others in Jonathan Dickenson State Park. Interestingly, the park was named for a merchant who was ship-wrecked nearby in 1696.

Would anyone be able to id this grevillea for me please?. It was growing outside the Lazy Lizard store in Pine Creek. A tall, thin, scraggly bush about 8-10ft. Growing similar to a casuarina. Beautiful shrub
We got another inch of snow last night but had 30 mph winds so it did drift and driving was difficult. Suzy and I have to make our last trip out to the horses this morning as their caretaker will be back tomorrow from the state wrestling tournament. I didn't realize how out of shape I am, I get quite winded when I carry three bales of hay 100 feet and throw them over a five foot gate. I am sure glad I didn't take the job on for the entire winter. It has been a good lesson because I would probably be on the top of his list next winter; now I know I would not want to do it all winter.
Grayling Michigan. As far as I know, the only stand of virgin white pine left in the state. I believe some are over 300 years old. geotagged geo:lat=44.752097 geo:lon=-84.678497
