Weekend Out and About

Recommended Posts

Just a few phone snaps while out and about this weekend.

 

Plenty of insect activity:

We cut down this maple last fall and now it's a butterfly magnet.

By the way, is it just me or are Admirals everywhere this spring?

Nice camouflage. Good luck with your ambush.

Classic complimentary color scheme.

If you're eating that Eleagnus umbellata tell your friends.

Not sure what you're doing in there,

but based on that frozen mess it looks like

I won't be fishing quince out of the pond this year.

You I could do without.

 

Also a few insect removers:

Leapin' Lizards!

Well, scrambling anyway.

 

And a few miscellaneous:

Nobody steals my wheel rims with

Campsis security on the case

Took this ash down last fall too.

Can you spot the structural defect?

Love looking at your photo walk. Thinking about printing it out as a story book, "See who we can find in the garden", better than the cow-pig-sheep books I've been reading to our granddaughter, for sure. Seems like a lot of people miss the life all around them out the back door.

We've experienced the usual bumper crop of Admiral's this year - along with new additions of eastern and black swallowtails, and a first - one ragged looking great spangled fritillary that spent the better part of an afternoon flitting in the violet patch - hopefully laying eggs... :)

I still see the spicebush swallowtails hanging around. I was afraid my drastic reduction of the sassafras population might cause them to disappear, but on reflection I suppose even with my clearing there is still a LOT of sassafras around.

Nearly every daisy had a lurker out in the old hayfield.

Nice and fat, too, so they must be successful.

Hopefully, with the lily pads filling in, the kingfishers and herons won't be fattening on my fish.

Hello, hawkweed!

Goodbye, grapes!
