The Wooded Life

Just for fun, I took a walk around the property with the camera. Here's a sampling of the pics -



Wild grass growing in the front woods



Rasberries loaded and ripening



Virginia creeper climbing old pine



Front woods...



Mulberries going to waste - way too high to pluck. And who's gonna climb a ladder on a hill?



Sun dappled white pine branches



White pines & Aspens




Mint or Sage type plants....


I know I planted these, but couldn't guess what they are.... :O
In the lily family?



Lilies. Perfect, aren't they. :)




Weeds which I permitted to flourish along the sides - naturalized garden, ok? The bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds will visit them just the same.





I think there is a bee visiting these weeds, actually...










Another Lily - these are tall dramatic looking lilies. I cut a bunch and have in the kitchen.





Sun hitting on tree roots, where critters live...




More cast aside roots.



Poison Ivy. Which I'm not allergic to.


Dianthus


More Dianthus - Purple/whites called 'sweet william'.



Lovely yellow flowers I can't remember name of. They flower all summer. Coreopsis?


Shasta daisies...


Rose - forgot the name. Very fragrant climber


Backwoods


Under the green curtain...



River Birch



Up to back of house...



Dog - who NEEDS a bath. Rolled in deer poop.... :[



Burdocks - giant thistle

Funny story. The guy who invented velcro got his inspiration from burrs caught in dog's coat.



Burdocks / giant thistle




Daylilies



Coleus (sp?) Or 'painted leaves'


Pansies & painted leaves


Funny face



Cool leaf pattern



More of those leaves



Virginia Creeper on white pine




2 year old aspen



Back woods - where the sunlight never hits the ground
