................................................photos provided by Greg Cornett Two unclaimed bodies, were found along forest Rd. # 1 in Scioto county. If you or someone you know is missing a botany enthusiast, please notify local officials. 
These unidentified nature lovers wander about, taking photos and sniffing flowers... completely unaware of traffic. 
If you must take close up botanical photos- please use the buddy-system:
have a fellow botanist watch for on-coming traffic.
Only you can prevent roadside botanical tragedies!!
Love it Cheryl! Thanks for the chuckle!!
ReplyDeletegreat story for a botanist! A botanist with a sense of humor! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis may be the one advanatge birders have over the plant folks- I have never seen birders laying in the road!
ReplyDeleteBirders may not lay down in the road, Cheryl, but we do tend to wander around without looking at where we're going (too busy looking up!), so we could just as easily fall into a ditch or walk off a cliff! Oh, the hazards we all must face...! :)
ReplyDeleteAt east they got that one good picture! You also have to be aware of wildlife enthusiasts, who are constantly looking at the side of the road while driving instead of at the road itself...making them oblivious of traffic too.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what we look like when we are out in the field, and it really could happen!
