Full Moon Ferreting

The moon (see extra) was marvelous, but it was the wild Rhubarb* that stole the show.  I just loved how these plentiful plants were set aglow by the setting sun.

* "Rumex hymenosepalus was once cultivated in the southwestern United States for the roots, a good source of tannin, used for tanning leather. The roots also yield a warm, medium brown dye for natural fibers like wool and cotton. But when it comes to savoring – the leaves and leaf stalks are considered edible when young. Use leaves and tender young stems in salads or cook like spinach. Older stalks can be cooked and eaten like rhubarb. Rumex pie – yum!" -From Wiki
