“Once again the pine-tree sung:—
'Speak not thy speech my boughs among;
Put off thy years, wash in the breeze;
My hours are peaceful centuries...'”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Old-growth white (near left) and red (farther right) pines near each other along the path in the Lost Forty forest.
This section of forest lies within the Chippewa National Forest near Bigfork, Minnesota. A Minnesota DNR Scientific and Natural Area, the 32 acre Lost Forty SNA, is also part of this beautiful site.
Due to a surveying error back in 1882, this 144 acre section was never logged. As a result, there are numerous 300-400 year old magnificent old-growth red and white pines in this special place.
The sight of these incredible trees isn't the only thing you experience here. The smell of this forest is unique. The sound is also unique. The breeze blowing through the crowns of these old pines make this piece of the north woods sing a totally different tune than most other sections of forest up here. You have to experience it to understand what I am saying.
For more information about the Lost Forty, go to the Chippewa National Forest's Lost Forty Website or the Minnesota DNR's Lost Forty SNA Website.

that's something you can google. sadly, in our town, it applies to great ideas for renovating failed sites which, in the end, fail themselves. we're still waiting for this one to live up to promise. the red paint is a start and we do like the grazing goats. but where are the creemies?
The Devil does Halloween. Or tries. He figured being "a smidgen too red" would fly this merry season, and he could just blend in with the myriad of devils, smurfs, and other people rocking body paint. Just one problem - gotta hide the all-too-real horns.

Le Touquet-Paris-Plage et ses incontournables cabines colorées faisant partie intégrante du patrimoine de la plage
Mais posséder une des 761 cabines n’est pas si simple et répond au bon vieil adage que tout ce qui est rare est cher. S’il faut compter pas moins de 300 à 600 euros pour un an de location, selon l'emplacement, avec un contrat de 5 ans, il faut aussi s’armer de patience pour enfin bénéficier, un jour, d’une de ces cabines et ainsi avoir un point de chute à quelques mètres de la mer. Environ 10 ans....

Wet dandelions vs dry dandelions:
Wet-They stick on your fur
and get in your mouth
Dry-They get in your nose
and make you sneeze
