Illustrated Excursions: May 2005
http://xrockyraccoon.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 28, 2005. A Walk Around the Arboretum. Wild flax is now common along the trails through the Cornell Plantations. This group is located at the trailhead near my apartment, at the intersection of Dryden Rd. and Forest Home Dr. The tree coverage has grown dramatically over the past several weeks, making this trail incredibly enjoyable. A moss-covered log lies among some flowers along the trail. Part of an old stump among the same patch of flowers. A fly rests on a wet leaf along the trail.

Illustrated Excursions: April 2005
http://xrockyraccoon.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2005. Six Mile Creek and Mulholland Wildflower Preserve. I'm laughing here because my camera lens looks gigantic compared to Jing! Beads of rain rest gently on newly formed leaves. The Large-flowered Trillium is frequently cultivated in wildflower gardens. More wildflowers along the trail. Most of the wildflowers in the preserve have not yet bloomed. These were only just beginning. The trail required the crossing of several waterfalls of this type. Posted by xRockyRaccoon at 9:36 PM.

Monday, January 01, 2007. Here's the view from the largest dune. We're probably close to 1 mile into the dune field at this point and walking in deep sand isn't easy. Our car is parked somewhere along that road in the distance. Badwater Basin, one of the lowest points on Earth. Taking a closer look at the salt out in the valley. Artists Palette is a colorful combination of various types of minerals. Posted by xRockyRaccoon at 8:29 PM. Ithaca, New York, United States. View my complete profile.

Saturday, June 25, 2005. Toads and Dragonflies on Van Lone Trail. A bright blue dragonfly with black wings perched on a branch which hangs over the stream along the Van Lone Loop Trail near Cayuta Lake. This area was covered with dragonflies! This, probably an American Toad, was very difficult to see amongst the leaves. This closeup shows the structure of the skin on its back. Posted by xRockyRaccoon at 5:21 PM. Friday, June 24, 2005.
