New to me... I altered someones tent. He wished the outer layer would go further down, and I had an older tent fly, and added 7 inches all around.

and just for fun, I made sure the Kelty name from my tent would be there. :)

gyr-falcon - Yes it is growing inside in the ceramic pot and growing medium that came in the box. My 'Apple Blossom" flower died in the bud stage so no flower this year. I have lots outside that I planted after they bloomed but they haven't had flowers for awhile.

I visited a nursery yesterday, and brought home some really gaudy plants. Not my typical choices, but that is the only Hamelia I have been able to find for hummingbird fodder. The variegated Potato Bush has a difficult garden problem to solve--and the non-variegated just does not fly my plane, so to speak. I'm not going to be planting these together.

My brother was born on St. Patrick's Day and owes his middle name to the day. One year he exclaimed: "No more green cake. I'm sick to death of always having green cake." I have found hundreds (maybe thousands) of four-leaf clovers in my life, at least a hundred 5-leaf clovers, and three 6-leaf clovers. a five-leaf clover For the variety shown in ravencajun's picture, that I've always refered to as a "shamrock" I've only every found two 4-leafed ones.

Overlook from the Gunflint Trail, out of Grand Marais, MN. The trail goes up to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. You drive up to the end of the trail, launch your canoe (no motors allowed), and enter a HUGE wilderness. Tons of lakes and islands. No facilities. It's for people who want true wilderness. Extends into Canada. You dig your own latrine, build fires, pitch (or don't) your tent, etc. I've only looked out at it, never wanted to actually experience it. This shot is from the beginning of the trail, it climbs up a bit so the overlook of Lake Superior is wonderful.

With the Houzz change-over, I just discovered the Kitchen Table forum and the 'I'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours' posts and photos. Just wondering--are there 'rules' or some method of deciding what photos you show on these posts? I enjoy taking close photos of flowers and insects but I'm an amateur.

No definitive rules. I usually try to show a photo that "might" be similar to what Casey posts. Sometimes it just doesn't work. I too have lots of photos of my back yard flowers. There are contributors to this forum who have cats and enjoy posting those photos.

If you have something you want to share, then feel free to do so.

Marcia,
I am assuming that is a syrphid fly. I have never seen one with those colors! Good job!

Welcome Marcia! I usually start the thread because I'm here earliest (Newfoundland time). No theme as such, I usually just post my most recent pictures. Looking forward to your photos!

Welcome, Marcia. Cool picture. Everyone has good pictures today. Mine is a couple of baby raccoon visitors to my backyard from a few years ago.

One's trash ... is someone else's treasure.

Squirrels don't bother me much, but they can be a nuisance.

But coons - they can be real pains in the patoot, at times ... e.g. when they pull down over a hundred ears of sweet corn ... and take about one bite out of each. That I'd figured to take to a couple of churches, social agencies, etc.

Almost did, putting on a sign, "Using a sharp knife, cut out the chewed part and a bit extra: the rest, wrapped by the husk, is O.K. - even if you're playing second fiddle to a coon!".

Jim, I think it is a metallic green bee, and from a search on the web, maybe Agapostemon virescens.

I enjoy seeing everyone's photos. So many different subjects, locations, and view points. I love the raindrops on the tulip.

Cute baby racoons and squirrels. We see them every year at our Pennsylvania house. They are often entertaining to watch. But the raccoons have insisted on using our back deck as their personal latrine, which doesn't endear them to me.
