Scenes from the Woods
July 2009
This teensy butterfly is the Ruddy Copper
It is about the size of a nickel and when you see one, you see dozens!
Although these wildflowers look huge, the White Heath Asters are less than
an inch across.
Deptford Pink, a delicate pink flower that is about 3/4" across.
My Christmas Cactus is finally showing some growth!
My grandmother was always giving me lovely Christmas Cactus that she
rooted for me--and then I just kill them. But last year when she gave me this
one,
she said her mother used to keep them outside under a bush or tree all
summer. And look! It has new growth after two years of sitting there
doing nothing!
We never had cat-tails on our beaver pond
until a few years ago.
My apples are growing!
Common Milkweed
Monarch butterflies love this plant!
The Daylilies are a'bloom.
Aren't they gorgeous?
Foggy morning in the North.
A Queen Anne's Lace is about to bloom.
I believe this MAY be wild honeysuckle--it looks like the picture in my book.
Bearberry? Sigh--I have tons of books, and no two agree!
This is a much more pleasant image.
Note the pollen all over this sweetie!
Gorgeous!
This is a Tiger Swallowtail.
My lettuce is coming along nicely!
It's a rainy day in the neighborhood!
