I have a number series going -- did you remember? Here's one! (and half of 2). Not that it's too hard, but -- where is this?

Fun note: Today is day 2^7 - 1 of my 365! Yay, Mersenne primes!

126/365 - Young Plant

A collage of old signs.

I have no clue what this plant is, but it was positively glowing green in yesterday's late evening sun.

I found this while I was out hiking/exploring (with Mike) yesterday afternoon, and we stayed out pretty late. So, I'm posting yesterday's photo today. We covered 5+ miles, almost entirely bushwhacking!

A selection of signs, old and new, telling us what to do (and not do!) at the Quincy mine. It's interesting to see how things have changed over the years.

Top: Modern sign cemented on to many ruins, provided by the Keweenaw National Historical Park.
Left: Another modern sign posted at the more outlying ruins, provided by the Quincy Mine Hoist Association.
Right: The oldest sign, painted onto the #2 Rockhouse foundation.

124/365 - A Spade is a Spade

A trowel on a tree stump.

Carrot juice constitutes murder (V8's genocide)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (yes, your composts are graves)
It's time to stop all this gardening (take up macrame)
Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade, is a spade, is a spade, is a spade...)
-- "Carrot Juice is Murder" by The Arrogant Worms


Actually, it's a trowel. But I like the song...

Output, scrolling from a program which I've been writing today -- and also a glimpse at the inside of my head after an afternoon of intense programming. Yes, this is really a photo too -- it was scrolling fast!

On Saturday -- after Chris graduated -- we headed out to McLain state park again to enjoy the beautiful evening. This is one of the lighthouses marking the entrance to the Portage Waterway, as the sun begins to set.

Just a few minutes beforehand, the Lovely Sarah, the Brother Chris, and I were all the way out on the end of the breakwater -- boy are my legs tired!
