Greenway Fall Flowers
Sometimes I think there are nearly as many flowers blooming in the Fall as in the Spring, at least along the greenways. A couple of shots from my morning bike trips on Stones River and Shelby Bottoms Greenways:

5 New Bird Photos From Costa Rica
Be sure to see the 5 bird photos I posted on my Costa Rica Decision Process Blog. Three are first-time sightings for me: Black-billed Nightingale-thrush, Collared Redstart, and Volcano Junco. The Toucan and Quetzal are possibly better images than I already have. My two days birding on the two-week trip were my favorite. The purpose of the trip was to see if I could re-retire in Costa Rica and it looks like I may by the end of the year.

A New Flower Today
And of course I can't find it in either one of my Tennessee wildflower books. Let me know if you know the name of it. It is growing in many places along the Shelby Bottoms Greenway. (Thanks to Jill for identifying it for me!)

Wild Potato Vine
I am still riding my bike on the greenways three days a week, just not posting many photos. I was calling this flower a wild morning glory and it is in the morning glory family, but most commonly called Wild Potato Vine and sometimes Man Root or Wild Rhubarb. It has a giant root that can weigh up to 30 pounds and be up to 4 feet long! Amazing! The technical name is ipmoea pandurata. Cool! There is always something new in nature and on both these greenways!

I've been seeing a lot of these for the last week or two. Nice!
