A few of the things we found on a recent ramble


One of the nice things about the area I live in is that there are over 60 miles of trails maintained by the county in a variety of settings. Most have a decidedly rural feel, despite being less than 20 miles from Philadelphia. I have fun trying to identify the things we find as we walk along. An app called "Lens" is usually pretty accurate, although horticulturists might disagree with what Lens says we saw yesterday. 

A pair of newlyweds? Papa has newly sprouted antlers barely visible in this shot.

Wild grape

Rosa cymosa, a climbing rose variety

Scarlet pimpernel. I'd heard that name but had no idea it was a plant. Learn something every day!

Field bindweed

Dame's rocket

Japanese dogwood

Big trefoil

Common daisy

And now meet Tommy


Tommy is also a "rescue kitty" like Forrest, who was featured last week. We adopted him 3 years ago when he was about 4 months old.

A few photos of Forrest

 



We adopted Forrest 6 years ago after he'd been in a series of homes where he and his human hosts didn't "click". We did, and he's been a good companion, especially after my husband died and I adjusted to the single life.

Atlantic City NJ


I'm not much for gambling, especially when the economy is a bit tipsy, so when a busload of folks headed for the casinos in Atlantic City I marched straight through to the beach and the boardwalk. It was a beautiful day for a stroll in the sand!

A few from La Salle University's art collection


La Salle University is a private, Catholic university in Philadelphia, first founded in 1863 by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. We had the opportunity to visit their art collection recently. As you can seem their collection holds a variety of styles from diverse time periods.
