On this trip however, I kept the dog on a leash except when I was down by the lake as the grasslands are filled with prickly pear cacti and rabbits! ... disaster waiting to happen Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-53839050809124657252016-03-03T19:52:31.874-07:002016-03-03T19:52:31.874-07:00Beth -- I ate lots of juneberries when I lived in ...Beth -- I ate lots of juneberries when I lived in the Black Hills, they were pretty tasty, at least in the field!Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-47796070951324222142016-03-03T15:22:03.994-07:002016-03-03T15:22:03.994-07:00What a great adventure.

Because of the way you write about geology in your posts, I've started reading a book about the geology in my county of Wiltshire. Hopefully I can understand a bit more about it.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06363592883349241096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-56626450176860969842016-03-03T10:24:41.866-07:002016-03-03T10:24:41.866-07:00That was an absolutely wonderful journey of explor...That was an absolutely wonderful journey of exploration! You really go the extra mile to find a tree!<br />I often have nightmares about my camera not working or not having it with me, but I haven't yet dreamt of having the wrong lens. You did well with it, though. Great images - it will be fun to see this place again when the snow melts.<br />I particularly like the spooky eyes on the aspen bark!<br />All the best :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-84927344043132888372016-03-03T06:09:43.039-07:002016-03-03T06:09:43.039-07:00Do you worry about your dogs getting bit by a ratt...Do you worry about your dogs getting bit by a rattlesnake when they run out in the wilderness with you? I would love to wander and explore with one of my dogs when I go out, but that is my biggest fear.Aznatural1https://www.blogger.com/profile/14166144336453943273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-3679571924369209342016-03-01T14:34:08.370-07:002016-03-01T14:34:08.370-07:00Amelanchiers in Wyoming--who knew?!

The berries are great in preserves! I tried some at a foraging workshop not too long ago. I don't have any Serviceberries here, but if I were adding small trees to the landscape, they'd be on the list. It will be fun to follow your posts about this tree!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.com
