A lady's shoe

Of course it's a lady's slipper. I promised there would be more flora, right? We used to have a bunch of these next to the boat house, then they disappeared. Now they're back.

For a few years when we were kids, living in Rockford, we went to Door County (peninsula in Lake Michigan, Wisc.). The water was clear, we went before tourists, beautiful place. My father was thrilled because there were yellow lady's slippers. Those are very rare and seldom seen. There they were--in the woods, spread out all over the place. They were very pretty, and it was nice to see him be so excited.
