The Mystery Plant....


This cantaloupe was actually grown by accident in my garden.  It must have come from discarded seeds in my compost pile from me cleaning out the insides of some cantaloupes.  It was exciting to watch the plant grow and too see what it was to become.....  I only noticed the actual cantaloupe a few weeks ago since it had grown into my tomatoes and made it's way up their stake.  It wasn't very visible until I went to pluck a few tomatoes from the vine in that area and there it was.....

Cardinals


The cardinals must be molting; seen a few today at my feeders that lack feathers like this one that I took a picture of.

The flowers of an Elephant Ear Hostas

Wild Mushrooms....

Check out these wild mushrooms that I came across today.  They were growing in my neighbors yard.  Strange how they pop out of these white casings...   They are very beautiful; love their color.

Loons on Porter Lake in New Vineyard, Maine

These beautiful Loons are always a highlight on the lake.  My husband and I enjoyed watching these Loons from our boat.
