I thought I recognized that. I was recently there and had my first paw paw.

Those are delicious! My neighbor had one that was starting to bear fruit a couple years ago, so they decided to cut it down but leave the mulberry trees

Oh wow, they couldn't have know what they were doing. That's crazy.

Parked the truck at the end of my shift early this morning. It was a bit foggy.

We were supposed to be on Isle Royale from the 8th to the 12th, but the weather didn't play well with the boat and they had to end up canceling for the season to focus on getting people off the island. We ended up in Pictured Rocks for a few days.

Pictures from killing time in Copper Harbor for a day when the boat was weather delayed the first time.

We did one of the boat tours including kayaking along the cliffs. That was very cool.

Black Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio polyxenes) in our parsley.

Caterpillars that are actively feeding are usually only found on their larval host plant(s), the plant they have developed a distinctive coevolutionary relationship with over millennia. Monarch caterpillars do not eat parsley and Black Swallowtail caterpillars do not eat milkweed, and if either attempted, they would not survive. Black Swallowtails were in the past commonly referred to as the Parsnip Swallowtail as their caterpillar food plants belong to members of the Umbelliferae, or Carrot Family. The diet of the Black Swallowtail caterpillar includes the foliage and flowers of carrot plants, fennel, dill, parsley, Queen Anne’s lace, and parsnips.

Black rat snake?

Looks like it to me, he was just chilling on the trail, looking like a stick until I was about to step on him. Saw a garter snake as well, he was too fast for me to get a picture of.
