		<title>Mushroom Mania</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday Eileen and I took a walk at the Griffy Nature Preserve, and even though it had been dry for the past week, we found a plethora of mushrooms along the trail. First up were several varieties of Boletes, most with a yellow pore surface (they have pores rather than gills.) None were the [...]

		<title>Deer Me!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other morning I came out of our house (half a block from Atwater), and found this guy munching on our bird food, and just snacking on anything he could find. What, me worry? He walked forward and sniffed in my direction, so I did the same, it was a standoff. I went my way, [...]

		<title>Bald Eagles at Lake Monroe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jojo and I have been out yakking and canoeing on Lake Monroe this August, and reecently we got to watch a full grown (big) bald eagle circle above us. The wings were significantly larger that a buzzard, and we could clearly see the white head and tail. I grabbed the camera and got this low-res, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Chicken of the Woods, Polyporus sulphureus is a parasite of oak trees, but we found this specimen along Maple Grove road northwest of Bloomington. It was growing on the north side of a single oak tree, and had such great color, it was easy to spot.
This specimen ended up cooked with homegrown beet greens and [...]

		<title>Bee Petting, 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I began the relaxing hobby of bee petting couple of years ago, after reading about the idea in one of Tom Brown, Jr.&#8217;s books. (This is not for you who allergic to bees, you know who you are.)

It was mostly white, with some black trimming the wings. It was the size of a chicken, maybe a bit larger, with fuzzy fledgling feathers. When it saw me, [...]
