Wild Strawberry

Wild Strawberry Leaf
These plants, growing at Gorman, produce little 1/4" fruits.  I was surprised to find this leaf with a dew droplet on the end of each tooth of each devide.


Wild Strawberry Bloom
I used my new light cube tent for this shot.  Even with the bloom in the tent, the wind can be a problem.

This one was created on a still morning, very fortunate.  I did not use the light tent and place a black canvas case in the background.

I am 99% sure these are wild strawberries and not wood strawberries, closely related, because of the shape of the fruits, remembered from previous years.  A nature walk at Gorman at the time these are fruiting will usually yield an offer to taste them.

Rhodochrosite Pendant

Rhodochrosite Pendant
I purchased this pendant from Pam and Dan Lauer at the rock show at Gorman recently.  It was for Carol for "Mother's Day",  


Rhodochrosite Pendant Detail
It gave me a chance to photograph Pam's work.

I am pretty sure they will be a vendor at the Gem, Mineral, Jewelry, Bead & Fossel Show at the Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7th.

This is a highly rated regional show sponsored by the Richland Lithic and Lapidary Society and led by Tom Kottyan.



Tom is well known in Geological circles and is able to get displays from The Ohio State University for this show.  This year's show is titled "Prehistoric Monsters of the Deep".  Mark you calendar now!

Hop Clover

Lesser Hop Clover
These are growing all over my yard now.  If you are my neighbor and can't find any in your yard, come on over and see what they look like.  They are tiny, tiny yellow clover blooms.  Wikipedia states that it is from Europe but grows all over the world as an introduced species.  It is considered the original Irish shamrock species.
