Skunk Cabbage!


In the Moss
Originally uploaded by s.kosoris


Today my dad and I went on an adventure to take pictures of Skunk Cabbage. This used to be my dad and grandfather's yearly spring tradition, but they haven't gone in a number of years. We went to the same swamp that they used to go to, and low and behold, the skunk cabbage are still growing there! It took us a little bit at first, but we found them poking up out of the underbrush. The first few were green, but we found the ones with red leaves, too. We're planning on going back in about a week, at which time they should be flowering!

While wandering around the swamp, I found a few areas that will make some great Lego pictures! So when I head back in a week, I'm going to take some minifigs with me!

I'm also going to need some rubber boots for next time. I wore my winter boots, which were fine because the ground is still firm. But in a week it might be a lot wetter!

Saucer Scout Update

Unfortunately, right after my last post about the Saucer Scout Hijack, the snow melted. So it looks like I'm going to be moving onto other Lego stories and pictures due to the lack of snow. I might be able to finish it off without the snow, but I'm not holding my breath. So look forward to new stories with new characters. And don't worry, you'll still be seeing Mr. Hardcore and Gary around!

Photo Contest Update

I just checked the Friends website and the 2009 Photo Winners are there! So please check out Joe Creek Falls and the other contest winners!

A Few More Pics for the Story



On Monday, I went out and took a few more shots to add to my ongoing story about the Snowtroopers hijacking the Spyrius saucer. The four new pictures were not uploaded in order, so I have now added a line in the summary of all seven shots that says which part of the story is which.

I'm hoping to wrap it up soon, especially since the snow is melting! And since I've bought some new Lego minifigs, like Indiana Jones and my Space Police guy, I'd love to start something new. I also have an idea for a shot featuring these two once the saucer is out of the picture.
