We gathered at
Mike and Marcia's place near Hillsburgh for the weekend.
|
 |
On
Saturday we went for a walk in Mono Cliffs Provincial Park. It was a
beautiful fall day, bright and sunny. |
|
|
|
 |
Some of us had fun with
milkweed and other kinds of fluffy seeds.... This is Autumn-Willow. |
|
|
|
 |
A
beautiful marsh that we passed by had beaver sign. |
|
|
|
 |
Along
the way we stopped and attempted to identify as many plants as we we able
to.
Each of us shared what
knowledge we had.
Lively discussions
sometimes ensued over differing ideas of what a particular plant was! |

 |
The
whole gang, except Mike, who's taking the picture. |
|
| |
 |
We
found what some at first thought to be a large ant.
However, later research showed it to be a blister
beetle.
|
|
| |
 |
Is
this the infamous "library crowd" (those who study nature but
rarely go out in it)???
No, it's us doing
research, trying to
identify the plants we couldn't figure out in the field.
Even then, there were
some we couldn't identify. |
|
| |
 |
Autumn-Willow
(lower left in the picture) celebrated her birthday this weekend! |
|
| |
 |
Saturday evening
we practiced some awareness exercises, and Sunday we went for
another walk. |
|
| |
 |
Who's
been screwing around with the gravity??? |
