08.15.2021 Sunday Silence

Posted on August 15, 2021 by Steve Gingold

A peaceful post and a change of pace from all the insects…but one. Pink White Water-lily-Nymphaea odorata with a side of Water-lily Leaf Beetle-Galerucella nymphaeae. I didn’t see the beetle until on the display in Lightroom. They are quite common. … Continue reading →

06.16.2021 Lily Pads as Pacman

Posted on June 16, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Posted on June 12, 2021 by Steve Gingold

It was raining when I left the house this morning but radar showed it letting up to the north and, sure enough, when I arrived at the pond it had stopped. But the evidence remained. White Water-lily-Nymphaea odorata

08.09.2020-2 A slight change in plans

Posted on August 9, 2020 by Steve Gingold

My trip to Moosehorn Pond was intentional and my plans there also although I was thinking of dragonflies which were not terribly abundant. The change is that I was going to do this as a “Silent Sunday” post but decided … Continue reading →

07.01.2020 White Water-lily Wednesday

Posted on July 1, 2020 by Steve Gingold

I love finding these floating on dark water. This was the only fully open one within “reach” (see below) this past Monday as it is still just a touch early. Some of the pink flowers are beginning to blossom too, … Continue reading →

08.22.2019 I can’t stop with the water-lilies.

Posted on August 22, 2019 by Steve Gingold

07.23.2019 Water-lilies

Posted on July 23, 2019 by Steve Gingold

Earlier this summer, Moosehorn Pond was water-less. A good guess is that one of the beaver dams breached and it took a while for the engineering crew to stop up the leak. The pond is now close to full again … Continue reading →
