OK, Not asking for any critiques here, I am aware ... (show quote)
Tracey I am hoping, since you are not on line, that it is ok to post some pics of a humming bird moth I got in South Texas while at the Deer lease in spring...They are not the clear wing moths, but are pretty and very quick as well...We also have these kind at our home in Central Texas...They feed on my night blooming Datura...I dont think I have ever seen the clear wing here...Thanks for letting me post...Linda

Hi Mortonfarm:
Thank you. You are not alone. A lady friend of my wife and me
go for rides in the country. She is always asking me to take
these kind of pictures. It grows on you.

Are you open to others posting their strange pics on your thread? I don't want to be accused of Hijacking your thread by sharing a photo of mine...!

Here in the SWNM area we have cultural and historical factions.
I collected a few pictures that show the raw side of life.

Mortonfarm is right on about the medicinal qualities of the mullein plant.
According to some historians, the Native Americans also used the plant leaves to relieve headaches.
I guess one just slaps a leaf or two on the forehead and you're good to go. Certainly couldn't hurt I guess.
(Unless you slapped it on too hard) ;-)

Thanks for the validation Dirt....As I remember..She folded a muslin feedsack and laid it on my chest...( I was about 10 or so yrs old) then saturated the fuzzy mullein leaves, and the bigger mustard green leaves from the garden with very hot water, not boiling, and placed them on a single layer of cheesecloth, topped with another folded muslin feedsack (flour actually) and laid the whole thing over my chest...repeated about 3 - 5 times during the night...next day congestion relieved and minimal coughing and no fever...day after that...good to go...back to getting into everything on the farm I could find to do...! She was a wonder, my Ma Mac was...! Linda

Seeing as to how it is growing where it is, and considering that it's the only example of its species in that area, it could be that the bird that carried it there just forgot to drop it in another more suitable place, sort of a cling-on kind of seed that sort of got stuck in some tail feathers and didn't turn loose when it should. We'll know next Spring.

Just some interesting info...Mullein is very common in the piney woods of south east Tx. My grand mother, her mother before her, etc. used a hot plaster of mullein and mustard green leaves on the chest to relieve chest congestion and pneumonia in the days before antibiotics...She made one for me once when I was staying with her and got a summer chest cold...quite effective...!

Hi all...going to be away from internet access for the next week at our deer lease and wanted to post this " Cardinal Story" before we left...This is just for enjoyment as the shots are not at all the best in the world...just amusing and might bring a smile to someone...! I know it did me...It is the encounter between a White crowned Sparrow and a male cardinal...Enjoy! Linda Morton ( Sony Cybershot DSC -H2...Auto focus, Hand held...taken from our deck porch...)
White Crowned Sparrow minding his own business...!
Enter Cardinal intent on taking over the feeder..!
Scram...Get outta here!
I said Leave, Vamoose. GIT....!
It's a stand off...White Crown "ain't a leavin'"...!
Cardinal finally leaves "all in a Huff"!!
Sparrow continues feeding joined by Chickadee...! Persistence wins...!

I love southwestern decor, esp. the so soothing colors...I have a cedar flute that I like to play when I am by myself...just whatever notes come from inside me at the time..I played flute and piccolo in high school band...and have a smattering of Cherokee in my blood...so I guess that is why I am drawn to Kokopelli. What an interesting history....Mozart's first name was Wolfgang...such a talent...Thanks for sharing...!

I took this shot...a purely lucky one...out the window as we were driving across the New Mexico plains...you can see the blur across the bottom of the vegetation, tho the subject of the photo, the old abandonded church is in clear focus..has had nothing edited except for a slight crop...Taken with my Sony Cybershot DSC H-2..Auto setting and hand held...thru car window.This is one of my favorite pics...Linda Morton

Thank you, wolfsmate...BC doesn't play much anymore, but that day he would dive under the leaves and come up looking right at me...he was in one of his infrequent co-operative moods!! he doesn't like the flash and rarely looks at the camera...Bug is undoubtely the best pet/friend I have ever had and is the best natured dog in the world...loves children and plays with them like another child...but...she truly is a shameless beggar...!Your user name is interesting...mind sharing how you chose it? Linda Morton Oh...I love the kokopelli avatar...!!!

I will do that...I have several that I have restored for myself as well as others and would like to exchange ideas... I have an old tintype of my great grandmother and her youngest son that needs some work. My attempts need some advice and critique by a fellow restorer..By the way...your website is nicely done...!
