[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 162902, member: 12214"] 6-20-13: Plants first Thought I would go on a photo bug hunt this afternoon but no such luck. I ended up with some plant photos and some images of a very busy robin. Since the subjects are so different, flora vs. fauna,I'll post the flora photos first then the fauna photos in the next post. Flora Photos. We have a tree that has probably been invaded by some insect or other, the species of which I am not sure. It leaves this foamy, drippy stuff on the plant. I just call it bug spit since I don't know what else to call it. If someone has an idea what it is, please tell me. [B]Bug Spit[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41250._xfImport[/ATTACH] We have a few nightshade or belladonna plants along our property line. The flowers are beautiful but the fruit it produces is definitely not for human consumption. Anyway, I can still enjoy their toxic beauty. [B]Bearer of Bad Fruit[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41251._xfImport[/ATTACH] So many times, I photograph flowers so that their centers are the main point of interest. This time, I decided to look at the belladonna flower from above. Just a different perspective, that's all. :) [B]Purple Pretty[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41252._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
