Butterfly and Mushrooms/Schmetterling und Pilze


Beautiful butterfly (Red-spotted Purple) in our flowerbed
Schöner Schmetterling in unserem Garten

We had our last home ecology class of the school year. 
Heute war unsere letzte Naturkundeklasse des Schuljahres.


We missed the classes from February through May, but were happy to go to this class on mushrooms and trees.  Veronika took this picture of a hemlock varnish shelf mushroom.  It is a very pretty mushroom and was growing on a hemlock that was over 300 years old.

Die Klassen von Februar bis Mai haben wir verpassen müssen und daher waren wir froh, daß wir heute dann etwas über Pilze und Bäume lernen konnten.  Veronika hat diesen schönen Pilz fotografiert, der auf einer über 300 Jahre alten Hemlocktanne wuchs.

  1. It's so good you could attend the last class! It's fun to think about all that has happened during the 300 year old hemlock's life.

    1. It was fun to see Elijah again. We had e-mailed back and forth from London about birds (he is a bird lover). I actually thought we would have Conrad today because the symbiosis topic is more his field, but I guess it was Elijah's turn (either one does an excellent job). That hemlock tree might have seen Mary Jemison!

    2. I like that thought of the tree having seen Mary Jemison.

    3. Maybe she passed it and liked it :).
