I always have...lichens, moss, fungi...some of the most interesting looking "stuff".
Here is a blog that gives us photos of all sorts of interesting things...
"Dark Roasted Blend" has a post with Moss, Lichens and Fungi. (Warning, there's a little "PG" here and there, but the vast (VAST) majority is stuff just like this...or scary roads...or vintage album covers...)
sorry for the unexplained grossness...

There may a couple more...but I'm backpacking in the wilderness today...
Where I am today...South Manitou Island.

We're getting ready to leave...a beach without footprints is a wonderful privilege.
I've preposted a couple of things - until Thursday...we're outta here.

Daniel Gooch was born...I have that stamp.
(I'm starting a new series - I dug out my husband's old stamp collection, not realizing that there are some very cool (and potentially valuable) stamps. So I took photos and some of them will be great blog fodder.
If anybody want to buy a stamp...
English, laid the first successful transatlantic cables. Sir Daniel Gooch was an English railway pioneer and inventor who was trained in George Stephenson & Edward Pease's works at Newcastle upon Tyne. He was locomotive superintendent of Great Western Railway for 27 years, where as Brunel's right-hand man, he designed the best broad-gauge engines and invented "the suspended link motion with the shifting radius link" in 1843. Gooch also experimented with a dynamometer carriage. In 1864 he resigned to concentrate on developing telegraphic communication. Sir Daniel Gooch and his son Charles, were the engineers who laid the first Atlantic Cable from the steamship The Great Eastern. Daniel became member of Parliment. Died October 15, 1889.
Ok...my computer is running slow and so is my brain. I reread Chapter 2 and it was listening to Charlie Brown's teacher.
However...Chapter 2 is..."If It Ain't Broke..." (I'm editing and publishing as I go...there's a thunderstorm rolling in and I don't want to lose my work if the lights go out!)
White points out that there are two extremes in Christianity -
There's a middle road that chooses to examine things for what they are - not because they're old or new. Tradition is not Scripture; we are not to seek "new truths" that take us beyond Scripture, which is sufficient. But we are not to be so attached to traditions, to "we've always done it this way" that we are unwilling to change/improve/grow.
It does seem that over the last few years (relatively speaking) that there have been perhaps too many translations made available.

I don't remember what this sculpture is called (I call it the face twister...there are more faces than what you can see below, but I couldn't get good shots.) It's one of my favorite sculptures in the park,
and from another side...below
