A few photos from yesterday afternoon;
A raccoon skull I found on a hike yesterday. It is now a part of my bone collection.
A white-tailed deer leg found on the same hike. It was a little gooey still so I decided to leave it alone.
Hayley, an Australian cattle dog belonging to my in-laws.
I do not know what kind they were, but there was an explosion of these flowers along the trail.
Three new foster kittens. Caption this one as you like.
The flowers look like vinka =)
Er, spelling fail... "vinca"
Yeah, I agree, those flowers are periwinkles, genus Vinca. :)
Too easy to apply a caption to the kittens (too cute, by the way!), but not easy to think of an original one... "we can has cheezburgers?" Maybe not.
From bones to flowers & kitties--excellent.
i think the one in the middle is saying to its friends
"Guys. lets not be cliche, guys? guys!"
or maybe he is saying " A hamburger?!" in Lady Bracknall style.
Sadly, that pretty Vinca is a nasty invasive in most parts of North America.
"Bring those medals, quick, or we eat the podium!"
Very First DSC headshot.
(Yes, it's an in-joke. :) )
As said, the flower is Vinca minor. It was introduced from Europe in the 1700's and is a fine groundcover. Unfortunately it escapes and grows extensive mats which exclude forest understory and seedling plants. It is quite resistant to herbicides and difficult to eradicate.
