Notes From Her Outdoors

I love the great outdoors. There's a lot out there to keep me fascinated.

Throughout 2010 I attempted to blog every new thing I saw as it came into season, wandered past me, or was found hiding in a sneaky niche.

Now I have the task of naming all the life I recorded - life was never sweeter.

This year I'm recording the things that catch my eye. and hopefully, will catch yours too.

Wish me luck, I'm going out!

Morning Walk - Thursday 28..11


This is the final offering of all new spottings of the year.  Here-on-in I'm going to cover edible wild food and tree identification. I'll add the flora and fauna from time to time as well. I'll link the edibles to the RUSTIC GRUB blog and cook something with them - from time to time. 
Could be fun, or it'll kill me : /

Yesterday evening, MeWally saw a swarm of LONGHORN MOTHS here on this WYCH ELM. The leaf looks as if it's been home to larvae.
