PAD06 - Pink Azalea

We had a bit of rain overnight and my pink azalea bushes finally bloomed. The raindrops on the flowers added a nice touch.

PAD06 - Leaflets Three

For those that don't recognize it, this is poison ivy. Rhode Island is loaded with it. I spotted this patch at Bold Point Park. As they say, "leaflets three; let them be."

PAD06 - Dry Dock

I've had my eye on this shot for a while and finally got the opportunity to take it today. This abandoned boat is slowly rotting in a lot near Bold Point Park.

PAD06 - Bumblebee

I spotted this bumblebee visiting my white azalea bush this morning. Getting him to sit still long enough for a photo was a different issue.

PAD06 - Bold Point Pilings

I stopped at Bold Point Park intending to photograph a couple of old boats up on shore when I spotted these pilings jutting up at low tide. That's the Washington Bridge and I-195 in the background.

PAD06 - Gypsy Moths

I had to search for quite a while to find a gypsy moth cocoon low enough to the ground for me to take a decent photograph of it. The number of cocoons in the state are at an all-time low this year. I remember the huge infestation we had back around 1980, though. The sides of houses were covered with caterpillars, and oak trees were almost wiped out.

PAD06 - Moffett Mill

Built in 1812, this mill on Great Road in Lincoln, Rhode Island is one of the last surviving examples of the Industrial Revolution. What makes this site unique is that most of the original machinery is still intact. There are current plans underway to restore the mill and open it as a museum.
