Trying to get a little caught up.

Well awhile back I was going to give you pictures and a report about one of Mr. A and my adventures, but as you may recall, I was having problems with loading the pictures. I am sure at least some of you have noticed by now that the loading of pictures has been back up, but I have been lax on the catching up. Hopefully this will rectify that. (It is very picture heavy, so I have put most of them up as small, but as always, they will biggify if you click on them.)

Our adventure on Saturday, August 16, involved Mr. A and I going out to Oxbow Park and the
Zollman Zoo, which is there. (Not the greatest zoo, but it is closer than the state zoo, which is basically a drive almost to the Twin Cities.) Like I mentioned the other day, we saw stuff form at least three different Kingdoms.
We saw a couple of examples from Fungi
(on the forest floor)
(shelf mushrooms on a tree trunk)

 

We saw a bunch of examples from Animalia

 

And of course a lot from Plantae.

 

We also saw forest, fields, sunspots, cooperative insects, and a bunch of uncooperative ones that didn't seem to want their pictures taken.

 

And just in case you are wondering if Mr. A was really there, I'll leave you with these. (You can tell I was there because I was the "Lady behind the camera.")
