Squirrel hunting - with a Canon 2018-02-24 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. It's hard to miss a squirrel when you go hunting with a Canon, even when the Canon is a camera. The squirrel was taking fast lane electrical wires over East Fortune Street across to a handy Magnolia tree which provides cover and a path up to the third floor in a huge divining (I'm from the oilfields of Metcalfe: Metcalfe Countians know their dowsing!) Elm from whence one can launch in several directions covering a broad area between Guardian, Burkesville and Jamestown Streets. Never see one without remembering first grandson Graham as a tiny boy watching out his window, spotting a squirrel and declaring, "CURL! Hahahahaha!" - LW Comments, clarifications, corrections: JDGee - Of 'curls' v. transformers. Squirrels win Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Emerging Invaders: Poison Hemlock on 24 Feb 2018 2018-02-24 - Gradyville, Paradise, USA - Photo by Guy Babin.

These poison plants will grow very rapidly to heights of over six feet and reproduce. Now is also a perfect time to control the pest as the plants are very easy to spot and easy to get to before all of the rest of the surrounding flora gets into its active growth period. - Guy Babin Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
