For those of you who might be sad you missed the biker festival:



Adding to my collection of interesting manhole covers:



And introducing the Osage orange, one bizarre fruit (inedible) from this area. First is my 8-year-old's foot next to it, to give you a size reference:



Growing in the tree (I'd really hate to be down below when this thing falls off):

That Osage orange IS certainly odd!! But those are the sort of bizarre details I love. Writers give the best reports when they travel or move anywhere... ^_^

I've never seen anything like that orange before.

The line of bikes reminds me of that scene in an early Woody Allen movie (I think it was) when there's a row like that and one is bumped and they fall like dominoes.

Osage orange--I always wondered what they looiked like.

Wow, that is some weird fruit! Can birds eat it, at least?

Oh the Biker Rally! Nice :-) I love than Manhole Cover, too!

Yummy! I like the manhole, too.

Cool! I forgot about Osage oranges (though I didn't know what they were called.)

Love the bike and manhole shots too. :)
