More Finds On Our Walks

Today we walked down Church Road, a country road inhabited by a handful of "good ol boys". Here is a pretty climbing butterfly-pea flower I found at the side of the road.

On the way back home we went behind the abandoned Catholic church into a wooded area. There is a hunting club nearby where the "good ol boys" alternate shooting deer and swilling beer. These wonderful guys have a lot of hunting dogs. Apparently over the years when the dogs get sick and die they just toss them behind the church. I suppose that is their sentimental version of a Christian burial. Anyway, there are a large number of dog skeletons laying in various spots behind the church. So they wouldn't have died completely in vain I took a few of the bones for us to study next term in Anatomy class.
