Miscellany

There's really no theme to this post -- just a bit of this and that.

This photo doesn't do justice to this morning's mix of fog, sun, and clouds.

Patches of early morning sun and fog on Fore Mountain. The red-orange flush is red maples just beginning to bloom. The white tree trunks are mostly oaks. The vivid green is pines. (Not quite sure how to handle the grammar there. Nothing sounds right -- "green are pines" or "green is pine" or "green is pines"?)

As I was cleaning out a flower bed this afternoon, I came across this remnant of a seed pod from a daylily (Hemerocallis spp.). It's about 1 inch (3 cm) long.

We've had a lot of helicopters flying over recently. This one hovered for minutes at a time over different locations near Clifton Forge.

And finally, a short slide show:
