Some summer pics

Here are a few snapshots from summer 2012.

An American toad (Bufo americanus)

Some daylilies (Hemerocallis fulva) by the side of the road. Native to China, Japan and Korea, these have been introduced all over the world.

The view from Big Level, aka Rock City Hill.

Some roadside rocks.

Introduced from Europe, chicory (Cichorium intybus) brightens up the roadsides on summer mornings.
