Looking through my photo collection this morning looking for something a little different than my usual posts, and I came across this shot taken in Custer State Park, South Dakota.

While hiking a short trail, I found this UFO growing between a couple of moss-covered boulders in a stream bed. It may appear that I was looking straight down for this shot. But it was growing from the side, just a few inches from the ground. So I was lying flat with elbows acting as bi-pod.

I suspect this plant won't be unidentified for long after some of my Flickr friends weigh in.

At the peak of its pounce in search of a meal. This red fox made a successful attempt that day. I wish it would visit my backyard and clear out the varmints digging up my yard. Wilson, Wyoming, USA, December 2023
