LOL!
loved the green snake. what a beauty. and the buckeye butterfly is one of my faves. i want a stone fence!!! sadly, no cliffs to produce the materials here...
yes, we call those horse apples or bois d'arc (pronounced bo-dark) apples. and your shell-like fungi are pretty cool too. nice walk, bjk!
Sweet snake!
I want a stonework fence some day..love them.
I enjoyed that walk! Stunning views the whole way! Looks a little warmer than here, fungi would've froze here last night!
More great work, Brian! All of your pictures stand out in one way or another. Appreciate you sharing with us readers and lookers.
Again -- amazing photos, Brian. I love that stone fence with the arch. Beautiful! :)
Horse Apples...what ARE they? Never seen anything like THAT before!
That stone work is beautiful and I am in love with all the bridges. NOT the snake though! ;D
There are a lot of those stone fences in this part of the state. In some places, they have been restored and are now protected. I can't imagine the hours of work that go into building something like that.
The hedge apples are pretty common around here. Apparently, some people use them to repel insects in their the house, but there's some question as to their effectiveness. I don't know what other uses they might have.
Thanks for the comments! I had fun looking for photo subjects on that walk.
Great photo's Brian. Beautiful country there.
Fantastic series of photos . all but the snake. We dont have many way up here in Canada and if we do I dont see them .
you saw so much on this walk! Nice variety of photographs; I love the fungi, the mosses, the dinky bridge :), and the stone walls - interesting to note the little opening at the bottom of. To let the little critters through?? But then it's been blocked in part with some loose stones? That rough green snake looks like a long string bean ..lovely colour, rather like our green tree snakes.
