I am blogging from my property in the Appalachian foothills of Southeastern Ohio in beautiful Hocking Hills. I live in a large hardwood and pine grove forest I named Whispering Pines. I commonly refer to this property as "The Pines". Stay tuned as I report the wild things from here at the Pines.

More Late Spring Sightings-

The butterflies are flying around the Sand Coreopsis planted in front of the house.  Shown here is a Fritillary, a somewhat common visitor here, along with Swallowtail.  The daisies grow in many places around the land, so sunny and cheerful.  Also, a common sight is mushrooms/fungus of different sorts - this one I haven't been able to identify yet, it is growing on the stump of a White Pine.
