Rose Pogonia-Pogonia ophioglossoides. AKA Beardflower for obvious reasons. Another dewy day at MacLeod Field.
06.23.2022 Daisy Fleabane
This has been a great year for Daisy or Annual Fleabane-Erigeron annuus and especially here in the yard. Everywhere locally really. It attracts a fair number of insects besides those wonderful hover flies. We had rain most of the day … Continue reading
06.20.2022 Monochromatic Macro Monday-Tendril
Walking at the Brickyard Conservation Area this morning, I saw a lot of subjects for abstract or intimate images. I certainly didn’t set out with this visualized on my way there and it was the last image I made before … Continue reading
06.19.2022 As with the PT’s so with the GP’s

06.10.2022 Forb Friday
So a different ‘F’ alliteration. I have a few other frog shots but am not really impressed with them thus it’s on to another subject. Common Cinquefoils-Potentilla simplex started lining our sidewalk a few years ago so the mower spares … Continue reading
05.30.2022 Macro Monday Madame’s Mocs
Yesterday morning was a lady’s slipper extravaganza. This appears to be a very good year for them and this is my third location, near Dean Brook, with more than a dozen to choose from. In all three spots they are … Continue reading
05.28.2022 Wet and Wild
From the same morning as the pair I posted last week, these two attracted my attention for the way to were paired and the light filtering through a gap in the undergrowth on the wet leaves. As with many white … Continue reading
