A Second Look--October 31, 2012
or Okay after Sandy
As everyone knows, this has been the week of Frankenstorm Sandy. I was able to get out and explore a few days before she came, and I went out today in her remnants of cold rain to access the damage. We were very lucky that the only real effects we had from the storm were a few downed branches. My thoughts are with those who were not so fortunate.
* Please forgive me if this is a wasp. I know that wasps and bees are not the same thing, I just don't know how to tell them apart.

Here's what I saw this week during a Second Look.
These mums were covered with flies and bees*. However, the flies were too fast for me to get a picture. |
This Virginia Creeper added some welcome color to this tangle of briars and vines. |
Hydrangea |

Of course the storm brought down lots of leaves. |
These are pictures of the same mushrooms taken several days apart. The blue one appeared after the storm. |
