More Little Treasures

The bride to The Boy to the creek today after work. When they came back she told me about a little vine with purple flowers on it she had found. I went with her and The Boy back down to the creek. I found the vines by said little purple flowers about the same time the clouds found the sun. Since I am who I am I took the shot(s) of this little treasure. Below, accompanying the purple flower, is a Fleabane I found with a little moth on it.

Both the above picture were taken with my Canon Powershot SX10is

A Bee In The Apple Tree

The bees have arrived and are enjoying the Apple Blossoms!

The last time I posted an Apple Blossom the bees had not shown up yet. They arrived mid-week and I have this capture to prove it 😉 There hopefully will bee more to come (both bees and pictures)!

A Photo Potpourri

I knew today was going to be mostly cloudy but I was hopeful that the Sun would show up for a few cameos. Well no such luck so I went to my default setting and just took the shot(s). Here is a few from the day!

The fine folks at the road dept have created green spaces at varies entrance/exit ramps. I do not know if this is true all through our fine Commonwealth but it so in my part of it. The poppies are popping and I hope to get back when the sun is shinning and the wind is NOT blowing!

Do you wish, as I do, that old and abandon places could talk?

I was taking a few pictures of a nearby Fleabane when I noticed these wildflowers. I was drawn to the unopened blooms when I noticed this ant. Quite the poser he is!

Fleabane: Filling station for pollinators!

A Bee On An Overcast Day

I have been digging the wonderful sunshine since it finally showed up around here but today it took a half day off. I was hoping to get home and take pics of the bees in the apple tree. Seems they took off half the day as well…..the half I wanted to take pictures of them during! Oh well, this fellow decide to buck the trend and showed up for an evening fill up overcast or not. Enjoy!

I took this with my Canon Powershot SX10is

Fleabane: Weed, Herb or Little Bit Of Wonderful ?

What grows on our place is whatever shows up and can survive. And one such plant that make use of our place is a weed (to some), Herb (to others) and a little bit of wonderful to me. Meet the first Fleabane of the season!

I used my Powershot SX10is in the commission of this capture.

One Grate Bridge

As I was traversing a wisp of a road came upon this one lane bridge. “Grate” I thought, not great, but grate because it was made of steel beams supporting metal grates. So this is one grate bridge!

The Doe

The most amazing thing about blogging for me is the way it has expanded my view of the world. I have been blessed with others sharing their corner of the world with us. One of those special places for me the wonderfully written and photographed blog CIGUDEG pleis bilong tu mi.
I am re-blogging this from my “other” blog because a picture he posted took me back to this story.
Enjoy!

Pondering Things and Taking Pictures

A vulture. Man they are big I think as I pass one sitting in a tree not twenty feet up and over from the road I am traversing. Road. More like a long paved driveway really than a road. It is no more than a car and quarter wide surrounded by fenced range for cattle farms or lined by deep woods.

As I swing my eyes back to the be mindful of the road I spot something out of sorts to my normal world and pull off the paved path of a road.I turn on my hazard lights and run around the van to confirm I saw what I thought I saw. I did and the next thought is now what. On the fence line not a dozen yards from me is a doe hanging from the fence. She had tried to jump the fence but landed or caught her back legs and hind quarters on the top of the barb wire…

A Couple Of Barns Of Differing Flavors

The above two barns are just that, barns, yet they very different. Both I assume are working barns but are set in very different settings. I find it very cool that people are still using and maintaining older wood barns. Most new barns are made of stick and tin and lack, in my opinion, the soul of the old wooden barns.
