Denise > White Spruce (Picea glauca) (Newbury, MA - May 2006) White spruce is a medium-sized conifer found in northeastern United States and throughout Canada. It is the state tree of South Dakota. Trees often reach 80-140 feet in height and 1.5 to 3 feet in diameter. The species is monecious, meaning both male and female flowers (strobili) are found on the same tree. The red cones are the female cones. Pollination occurs in the spring and cones mature in one season.

Denise > Black-naped Oriole (Oriolus chinensis) Black-naped Orioles rarely descend to the ground. They forage high in trees and usually stay within the canopy. Nevertheless, they are not birds of the deep forest. Originally from coastal woodlands and mangroves, they have adapted to cultivated areas and parks and gardens. The Black-naped Oriole is not at risk and rank among the top 10 most common residents in Singapore. There was something behind the fence that this guy wanted so badly . . . he was trying desparately to get on the other side. (Miami MetroZoo - February 23, 2007)

Denise > Bunker Hill Monument - Charlestown, MA The Bunker Hill Monument stands tall at 221 feet. It stands on the site of the first major battle of the American Revolution, fought on Breed's Hill, June 17, 1775. Important to the British occupation of Boston was control of the high ground near the harbor. When colonial forces chose to fortify Charlestown, they bypassed the more dominant "Bunker Hill" and dug in on Breed's Hill which was lower and closer to the water. "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" is the legendary order attributed to Colonel William Prescott to make sure that each shot would count. The poorly trained and ill prepared colonial forces repelled two major assaults by the British Army before retreating. Almost half of the British soldiers were either killed or injured. Although the colonists lost the battle, their bravery and strong showing against the British encouraged them to fight on. (June 1, 2007)
