[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 162612, member: 12214"] 6-19-13: Took advantage of a beautiful afternoon. Started out on a bug hunt but ended up with a lot of images without bugs. I did find one, though. :) We have a lot of fireflies around here. They seem to land on a lot of flowers along our driveway. Here's another one: [B]On the Edge[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41134._xfImport[/ATTACH] The blackberries are in full bloom. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a few before the birds, deer, and other assorted critters do. Here are a few photos: This first one, the color version, I am entering in this month's challenge B&W flowers. [ATTACH=CONFIG]41135._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41136._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41137._xfImport[/ATTACH] I took a walk through the woods and came across something that I always find interesting and illustrates how nature takes advantage of what is around. I love to see plants, and even trees, growing out of the crotch of trees, and I love ferns. They may be primitive on the plant evolutionary scale, but they are just neat. [B]Secondary Growth[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41146._xfImport[/ATTACH] A few feet away from the the tree in the photo above, I found this lone grass going to seed. I loved the way the afternoon sun kissed the stalks of grass and accompanying seed. [B]Standing Alone[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41147._xfImport[/ATTACH] This must be the year of pillow moss. We have a lot of pillow moss this year. I haven't noticed it as much in previous years. This moss just seems to have nice, round poofs all over the woods.
