"Indian Pipes"

I used to think Indian Pipes were some sort of mushrooms but they are actually flowers, with seeds and all. They live off decayed plants in the soil and produce no chlorophyll. Some years we can't find any of these flowers or their cousins the Pine Saps, but last year they seemed to be everywhere. This painting still needs to be signed and has a tiny bit of work left but I wanted to get it here this morning. We have a busy day planned.

"Adriondack Shamrocks"

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I was trying to think of something appropriate for today and remembered the leaves on common wood sorrel look like Irish shamrocks. Upon investigation, they are both from the same genus "oxalis" and sometimes the sorrels are used as shamrocks. Perfect! I do love to be on the trail in the woods and come across a large patch of these clover-like leaves. They are striking against the dark forest floor, even without the delicate blossoms.
