Foxglove, also called Digitalis as someone mentioned earlier can be deadly. In pharmacy school 60 years ago we studied Digitalis. It was considered a cardiac glycoside and was effective for the treatment of heart diseases. Before it was standardized with milligram doses it was standardized as a "Cat Unit". A cat unit was the amount of Digitalis that would kill half of the cats used in the study. In our pharmacognosy class we raised Foxglove (Digitalis).
Lovely city. Great images. I spent 61-62 there in 10th Evac Hosp. Saw a lot of reconstruction of city at that time. Good memories.
Beautiful images. Brings back great memories. I was stationed at Ft Williams in the Army in 1961.
Great shots. Brings back good memories. I was stationed in Wurzburg, W Germany in 1961-1962.
Amazing. North Dakota should buy this image from you for PR , I think.
Nice ! Crex Meadows has been one of my favorites since 1977. Got a shot of a least bittern one time, a "keeper".
June 1 is children's day. Parents parade their kids in their best clothes and don't mind if you take their photos. Show the result from your camera to the parents. They smile.
Also, on the anniversary of Tianeman square you may find it difficult to access your email !

If you drive up to Monticello by the power plant there is open water. Ducks, cranes etc.
Beautiful shot. Live in Eden Prairie and don't get downtown. Wonder if anyone shot the bridges lit up for Vikings?
Oh, you're right. The state "bird" is the mosquito, but we don't talk about it much; just like we don't talk much about Jesse Ventura !
As a Minnesota native I appreciate your shots. The only thing missing is the call of the loon. Oh my.
Granddaughter lives in Waco, TX. Last Friday she couldn't find gas to buy for her car !
Beautiful shot and good composition. Brings back good memories. In 1961 I was stationed here when it was Ft Williams.
Merry Christmas from Eden Prairie.
