Lot's of Nature!

Since I am STILL down and out with a massive amount of mucus, and The Queen and her minions keep yelling that I am the scurge of the internet these days since I LIVE for gross moments, I will keep it clean today. I know some of you will be disappointed, but it WAS Mother's Day and this is just one of my gifts to my poor mother who has paid her dues in the Gross Wars.

Like I said, I'm still down and out with whatever it is that I have. Still on antibiotics and all, but I did manage to participate in The Maniac's "walk thru the woods" and I did get LOTS of good pics of "stuff" before my camera AND my tired ass decided to die!

Just for the record, my new shoes are broke in. *sigh* And I'm sure I will have scars where all the BARBS on those damned trees nailed me. If I followed The Hunter, he walks thru briar patches. When I followed The Man, he would walk thru low swinging trees that would wack me. Add to that my already tired ass and you can bet that I took a nice long 5 hour nap when we got home! Ok, so it was only 4, sue me.

I don't know how turtles get around in the woods, but this one was out there having himself a good time!

My absolute favorite flower. This one is pink, which I've never seen in the wild before! I wish they didn't die as soon as you picked 'em. And I wish I could have a yard full! *sigh*

Yes, these are the elusive Morel mushrooms! We found a few of them and some wild Asparagas.... mmmmm... they were yummy!!

These are MayApples. I've seen the foliage before, but didn't know you had to LOOK UNDER them to see the flowers. They are really quite pretty.

And this little guy, I'm TOLD smells really icky, but I still can't smell or taste anything, so I wouldn't know. I will take The Man's word for it. I so love hanging out with him in the woods, he finds all these cool things for me to take pictures of. Don't think he meant for me to take HIS pic though!
