I'm not sure what type of plant this is, but they're common in the local nature trails. I like the "fan" pattern.
I took the kids to the boat show yesterday. We had a really good time trying to decide on just one boat to buy. Actually that started out as a game, but by the end of the day I think that the kids forgot that we weren't really buying anything (there's no way I can afford a boat). It was fun thinking "Someday, when I'm rich...", especially since we got to tour some of the really big yachts. (Did you know that some of those yachts use 50+ gallons of gas while under sail? Even if I could afford the 1.7 to 3.5 million dollars to buy a yacht, I don't think I would ever get to take it anywhere!)
Actually, I liked the Porta-Bote much better. It's a small fishing boat that literally folds up so you can carry it around. It's amazing! It can be rowed, or use a small trolling motor, or you can even get a sail kit for it. I am totally in love with this -- it's perfect for the kids and me to use to go fishing, and take camping with us.
