Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

Poison Ivy leaves, with growth
This is poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans (L.) Kuntze ssp. radicans-the Wikipedia says it should be poison-ivy, with a hyphen). The plant is quite common here. Many people, including me, break out if they come in contact with it. When the leaves change color in the fall, this is one of our most beautiful plants.
I don't know what the reddish blisters (?) on some of the leaves are. I would guess a fungus, or the result of an insect infestation.
If you want a higher-resolution picture, you can get it by clicking on the picture, then finding the different sizes link, at the right, in the source page. (Free Flickr membership may be required.)
