Quartz Crystals

These shots are from 10 months ago.  They are at 8X magnification.

Quartz Crystals

They are tiny, tiny crystals but don't look as small here.  I wonder if these are rosy quartz.  I hope you enjoy.

Ohio State Buckeyes

Buckeye Nuts

I have nuts on my mind today.  They do not come from a tree as these buckeyes do.  I must be nuts talking to nuts!

Buckeye Leaf Buds Opening

You started your season with lots of promise.  Your were on top of the heap and had no where to go but down, a most difficult place in which to find yourselves!

Buckeye Nut on the Tree

At the end of the season you find yourselves among the "Also Rans," a step or two down because you played the entire season trying not to lose.  You did lose and so you play today instead of last night. 

I know I should not take it personally but I am afraid I do.  It was sooo painful for me to watch you play this season.  I wish you the best for today's game.  I said that I would not watch but I am afraid that I will.  Make us proud, once again, to be Buckeyes.

Slender Goldenrod

Solidago erecta

A walk through our meadows in August and September and even into October reveals lots of yellow blooms.  I once thought that they were all one variety, but since, have learned that we have many.  I seem to remember the number 16 in connection with this.  This one, Slender Goldenrod, still has most of its flying seeds.

Another of our Prairie Grasses, this Indian Grass inflorescence has lost most of it "flying"seeds.

A closer look reveals that only a few are left.

Quartz with Gold?_Copper Inclusions

Quartz with Gold?, Copper Inclusions

I am not sure where I obtained this small piece of Milky Quartz.  It has inclusions which interest me quite a lot.  This image is at 2.9 X magnification.

Quartz with Gold?, Copper Inclusions

I achieve that kind of magnification by mounting my Mamya 50 mm lens backwards as a closeup filter on my Sigma 105 mm macro lens.

Brush-legged Wolf Spider

Brush-legged Wolf Spider

This is a left over from last season.  I found this shot and a very similar one (see below) in my "for blog" folder.

I like the neutral rendition (top) much better than the warm one (bottom)

Mountain Mint

Mountain Mint

I asked Jason, one day, what this was.  I had looked and looked to no avail.  He was working with the volunteers and there was noise and so I did not understand him.  I thought that he said "Mountain Man."  That was not helpful and I finally had to ask again, this time in quieter conditions.

I have not seen much Mountain Mint at Gorman, but that is probably because I have been unaware of it.  I had this happen with another plant (its name escapes me now) and I began seeing larger versions of it everywhere.
