I keep half-composing posts (and e-mails, and letters) while walking to or from work, but actually writing anything takes a combination of time and mental energy that I don’t have for anything except science right now.  Still, I have lots more pictures that haven’t been processed, much less posted, and I like looking at them…  Today’s Flowerless Eye Candy is all from the Green Mountain Audubon center, near Huntington, VT.  (I think the first tree is a red maple, the second one is a basswood, and the ferns are bracken.)  My dad and I went hiking there on July 4th.  (For those of you who live nearby, it’s got some pretty trails, and the Sensory Trail for the visually impaired, complete with braille signage, is a really wonderful concept.)
