Not all battles are fought with a sword
As mentioned earlier, WeatherGirl found a mummified dead bat on a high bookshelf this weekend. I took some pictures before transporting his little carcass outside, including this macro of his little foot.
I uploaded two of the other shots, but they’re more on the icky side (not quite as abstract), so I’ll let you go look at them at your own risk. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I hear tell that’s it’s probably a mullien plant. It (and several like it) were growing in the fields at Pea Ridge National Miliary Park, which isn’t too far from my parents’ house in NW Arkansas. Pea Ridge was a major battle in the western theater of the U.S. Civil War, but since the western theater didn’t amount to much, it’s a bit of a big fish in a small pond. It’s a nice little park, though, and we have had several excellent visits over the years. Several of us went out the day after Christmas, which is where this (and several other photos) came from.
