Deers Can't Read Either

(click on picture to enlarge)

I was taking pictures of the bullet-ridden "Exit" sign, when I saw movement and noticed the, er, exiting end of the deer.

I guess he can't read!

Graffiti Dude

This delightful "graffiti dude" appeared sometime within the past week or so at the (formerly) abandoned church ... this guy waves goodbye as you exit the old sanctuary area.

This one guards the back door of the old school ...

And this interesting fellow poked up his head in what used to be a fire extinguisher box!

Someone certainly had fun with these! I know I had fun finding them.
I wonder if there are more that I haven't seen yet?
Maybe I'll go for another walk and find out!

No Parking Sign ...

I THINK I'll find another place to park ...

Hot Air Balloons Can't Read!

I took this photo last July when a hot air balloon descended on the parking lot of the once-abandoned church across the street.

I guess they couldn't read the sign from up in the air ...

And I don't think they cared!!!

Honey Bees!!!

(click on pictures to enlarge!)

As I walked along the Metro trail at Graham Oak Nature Preserve yesterday, I was happy to see that honeybees are making a comeback, after being nearly decimated by mites over the past 10 years or so.

They were feasting on pollen from the oxeye daisies (leucanthemum vulgare) that are starting to bloom.

If you look carefully, you can see reflections of the woods and fields in their eyes ...

I never noticed before that their faces are shaped like hearts!

A Bad Contractor?

I was on my way home from church when I noticed this, um, altered sign. It looks like someone was NOT happy with this company, and came up with a unique way of making sure no one else gets a bad deal!

The Up Side of Too Much Rain!

It's cold, it's wet ...
Rain coats the garden flowers in jeweled beauty ...

Raindrops on the green plants reflect even more surrounding beauty ...

The lupine beside the road becomes encrusted in nature's diamonds ... and even more reflections!

I have been complaining about the rain ...
Shame on me!!!
