Thanks! Down the road from my house. Too bad not on the property. But they certainly are interesting.

Great shots Carol! I love these plants & you really captured the transmission between hotdog-on-a-stick and "dead-rat-on-a-stick"!

You should get lots of red-winged blackbirds - they love cat-tails!
