Silent Sunday: Hibiscus
Today is Silent Sunday. It is a day when I only post my own photographs on a theme of my choosing. The first two sets of photos are from hibiscus plants in my parent’s yard blooming recently. The last set of photos feature a hibiscus “tree” that I owned for several years. Several Christmases ago,…

Getting to Know My Wisconsin Woods
This spring I’ve spent a lot of time in the woods; so much time that I’m slowly becoming comfortable with spring ephemerals and tree species. I’ve hiked, attended a class on foraging, and eaten some wild plants for the first time. Now, we are doing some “land management.” This entails cutting down invasive brush and…
