So much to love and learn here, Barb. Also a walk down memory lane for me.

I was unfamiliar with "marmot" and found they are also called "whistle pigs" - isn't that fabulous?! What a chunk he is - quite adorable.

Ruelles - I haven't come across that word since I lived in Maine around so many Canucks! I hope that term is offensive to Canadians.

Five Roses Flours - another throwback to my Maine days. You certainly won't find it in Florida.

Lastly, my favorite photo - the Dying Echinacea. Such an iconic image for fall. And it shows that there's beauty even in death.

This is my favorite of your Photo-a-Day submissions, Barb. Thanks!
