New life of sorts to an old dead tree!

Hey, thanks for stopping by to see me. I am not here often because Fotopages isn't what it used to be. Performance is bad, a lot of our friends have moved on. Too many server errors and timeouts still make for a disappointing experience here. You can find me over at Fotothing with the username JPHarr, just like here.

Cheers!

A plant called Butter & Eggs

 
I found this little plant growing on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Northern MN

Sort of an ugly background.

The big lake they call Kitchi Gummi - Lake Superior

Silver Creek Cliff
Looking out over Kitchi Gummi
Looking out over Lake Superior
SILVER CREEK CLIFF

It looks out upon the waters of Lake Superior, the largest fresh water lake in the world, known by the Chippewas as Kitchi Gummi. From this point the lake extends easterly 400 miles and westerly 30 miles. Raddison and Grosseillers canoed this lake 266 years ago. A little later Marquette was at the Apostle Islands, thirty four miles east of this cliff.

In 1679 Daniel DeGreysolon, Sieur Duluth passed here. Many traders, missionaries and explorers have passed here since. The Cree Indians lived here. There were succeeded by the Chippewas, who often crossed the lake in canoes. Now, each year, thousands of cargo laden ships intersect the course of those Indian canoes. Two Harbors, called Wasswewining by the Chippewas, lies four miles southwest of this highway and lake. To the northeast the highway leads to the Pigeon River, the International Boundary, 119 miles distant. Lake County extends 100 miles to the north through a labyrinth of lakes.

Retirement

 
I retired from my day job a couple weeks ago. My associates gave me a card with this picture on it. I found it to be very appropriate. My kind of place to enjoy the great outdoors. Now if I just had a horse.

Beautiful picture Nostalgic! Fri 19-Sep-2008 13:08

In Memory Of

 
In the centeer of Philadelphia in Washington Square, there is a small monument that reads:

Quote:
In Memory of the many American Soldiers, who, during the War for Independence, died prisoners of war in the jails of Philadelphia, and were buried in this ground during the years 1777 and 1778.


Erected by Quaker City Chapter - Daughters of the American Revolution 1900.[

Unfortunately, no! I do not have much time for my shots, thank you for your visit and compliments. Thu 18-Sep-2008 07:31

Down from the mountain with a load or ore

 
A pic from some 30 years ago on a frosty February morning in the north country.

This image of yours is too perfect. It looks like an HO scale model train. Was this shot actually taken in your basement...? Mon 15-Sep-2008 15:06

JP: This is the real thing. There are 158 cars of ore headed down the track. Three locomotives pulling 14,000 tons plus the train cars. Tue 16-Sep-2008 00:23

Shaggy Mane

 
A colony
 
One of the Dark-Spored Mushrooms. These Shaggy Mane mushrooms were growing in my neighbors yard.

A description of them from the Lone Pine Field Guide entitled "Mushrooms of Ontario and Eastern Canada" by George Barron. Also identified as Coprinus comatus, the Shaggy Mane mushrooms have caps that are 5 - 15 cm across, conical to bell-shaped, dry, and covered with brown or blackish, recurved scales. Gills are free, crowded, and white to beige, becoming black and dissolving into a black fluid. Stalks are up to 15 cm tall by 2 cm wide, smooth, and hollow. Ring is white and movable. Spoor print is black. Widespread and common, Shaggy Mane fruits in grass and is associated with disturbed sites. And it is edible.

I choose not to try it.

Rain Frog on the move

 
 
While working on the screen porch, I removed the screen door. So in come some bugs followed by this little critter looking to capture the bugs. He knows a good thing when he hears it.
