Dave, calling Dave!

Man I'd be out there digging some up to bring home!!!

My what big ferns you have Kassy *grin*

Another Dear path. Yes, they get some Big bucks out there!!

LOL, no my BF has them.................LOL

A toadstool growing on moss............And no Dave, I didn't touch it!!

LOL Kassy, dave was pretty worried about you touching them or eating one

I actually found a blossoming weed!

Name that weed? And no, I'm not going back for more pictures.............LOL

I need to have a little chat with Dave on that. Took until him and Jean both told me that you can eat the puffball, before I even touched that one.............LOL

OK, we are getting near the swamp area here. that for some reason this year wasn't very swampy.......lack of rain?

Stranger in the forest!
Boy, the last time I put stranger in, it was an indangered spiecies. Maybe I shouldn't use stranger!

Any ideas anyone?

probably the lack of rain yes...although we've seen plenty of it here thought I was gonna grow webbed feet! supposed to rai again sunday!

One of the top of it!!

it ain't corn, that's for sure lol it's still a little freaky though

OK, this I have seen many times, and I think it is pretty.
Name?

Then I'm, off for a while. I still have a number of forty pictures to post, but now we are going over by lake michigan and a light house that is there, and BIG rocks Lynn ;-)

Back later ^_^

LOL Lynn

oooh I can't wait! :) I wish I could move my big boulders myself!

hey kassy the weird one looks like Jack-in-the-pulpit to me but I am certainly no expert

trina, I have Jack-in-the-pulpit.....and that aint him.............LOL
this thing was about 3 feet tall!
later ^_^

mm hmm freaky!

sounds like some strange thing i'd drag home and then figure out what it is later then

Kassy, that first weed is what Resin and Dave refer to as a Asteraceae White composite. Here is the link that that came from, only they were referring to the yellow flowered members of the family.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damned_yellow_composite

I think it might be what they call a thread leaf daisy, but am not sure

Look its Moon I found you! I have a question for you

Yes ma'am Trina...and the Moon hides where ever the sun shines....grin

your very funny Moon...a good sense of humor is always important

Good morning everyone! Aloha kakahiaka!

Amanita mushrooms don't turn blue; you may be thinking of Psilocybe.

That "stranger" looks like it may be in the Milkweed Family.

I was hoping Jean would have those little white Composites ID'd already!

I'll get the books out and see if something matches.

That's right Dave, I got it backwards....psilocybe's turn blue when you eat them....you turn blue when you eat Amanitas....grin Hey, I told Kassy it was an Asteraceae DWC....won't that work? grin

how about this one?

The leaves on Kassy's plant look more linear, but Aster looks like a good group to check out.
DWC works for me, but maybe we can figure it out a little better for Kassy's sake!

How about this one?

Not that linear!

Maybe Google Asters of Wisconsin?

Google complete....

I don't have time now to go through the list, but at least it is here. Try to sort through later.

Thanks, I'll do the same. Have to get ready for work.

A hui hou Dave. Be safe.

Thank you kindly. A hui hou!

Dave, are you sure I can't eat these. They are very pretty ^_^
Just kidding Dave!!!

Well, except this one :-|

LOL Kassy...ya know you torture him when you do that!

Kassy, I have never seen such unusual kinds of toadstools!!

they are cool, huh?

I know, I have never been out there at this time of year, it took me a little by surprise too.
More trees and of course, more ferns!!!
I think he needs to start a fern farm!

My fearless leader out in the lead.......
And did you notice who has the gun?

OK, what is this and don't tell me pine trees!

This is the size they are and I have never seen them bigger.
