Obligatory fall foliage post

Do you feel a little guilty if you don't go for fall photos? I do too, but I'm trying to get over it.

The carpeted forest

Views of a lush forest landscape that is special to Wisconsin.

Part four of my vernal pool study - this time I got a little lost, but found some new pools!

My first close encounter with pointed-lobed hepatica - I found some differences from the round-lobed I know well.

It isn't rare, but I missed this wildflower over and over before I realized what it was.

How are the vernal pools coming? Will they still be viable as a breeding sit for critters?
