Not sure what these little bitty blue guys are (note their size in relation to the oak leaves on the ground)
Wild strawberry (notice the serrated leaves). We have little patches of them here and there, but this is a volunteer, completely alone on the other side of the house from the others.
...and the azaleas are coming on strong. Love their bright red - almost makes me wish for Kodachrome, which i didn't normally care for a lot. (Ektachrome was more my thing.)

This is a single tree. It's done this every year since we moved here. My guess (given the complexity of the trunk) is that two trees sprouted close beside each other and grew together - sort of a natural graft. (We had a similar dogwood tree - half-white/half-pink - near our house in SC - and the apartments where we lived before we moved here had an oak and a pine that had merged trunks.).

A grafted oak and pine? I wouldn't have guessed those were compatible.

Not grafted, as such - they grew next to each other and grew together for several feet at the bottom. I'll see if i can get a picture.

Kate informs me they've cut down some trees there, and it might be gone - she still hangs out with the woman who lived in the unit directly across the parking lot from us, so she has some idea what's happening there.

Oooh. Ok. Neither have any notion of personal space.
Huh. Still fascinating.

They're really for real, honest to goodness treehuggers...the only ones who can really get away with that...

Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.
The whole set of the Wapsipinicon River: Here are the pictures I took, from the pedestrian bridge off of US-151 in Anamosa, IA. One looks upriver, and the other two look downriver.

No - wait - he's his own THIRD cousin.
