With our recent warmer weather I am looking forward to flowers and sights of nature like this one. I captured this Crab Spider in the Ironweed this past August waiting for a meal. It probably was a good spot as I usually saw a lot of insects around the Ironweed.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is Lead Plant. Lead Plant blooms June through August. It is a native legume and it's roots can go as deep as 16 feet making it quite drought tolerant! It's name comes from silvery grey hairs on the plant that give it it's lead color.
Today's capture is of one of my favorite birds. I captured this BluJay
sitting in my in-law's Bradford Pear tree after just getting a peanut from the feeder. He/she paused long enough for me to get a capture which is pretty rare. They usually grab one and are gone.
Happy Monday and happy new week! For Valentine's Day I received some flowers. One of them in the arrangement was this neat giant Mum which I found rather photogenic. I'd love to grow some like this one.
It's a double digit day! 😀 It's also Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image goes back to Minnesota and the Western Minnesota Steam Thresher's Reunion. This is locomotive 353 sitting outside the roundhouse on a day before the show started up. I took this when I was at the roundhouse for the safety meeting.
Today's image is another from this past January's lovely clingy snow. I took this image of the Gazebo pond in snow. The water had an interesting rough texture to it because before the snow started there was a lot of rain and then sleet.
Happy Friday, TGIF! Today's image is another of the melting frost that I captured while on a walk this past winter. I liked this one that captured the upside down tree in the drops. I also loved all the bubbly bokeh and since Friday's Are Bokehlicious, this was the perfect image for today.
