STOPS ALONG THE WAY

NATURE’S CURVES

On a recent walk, my spouse pointed out the remains of a flower. He said it reminded him of a musical symbol. I had the right lens on my camera (he didn’t) so I gave it a try. I thought the title of my post was pretty apt as it describes the subject as well as the idea that you don’t always have the right gear to capture something that appeals to you.

MIGHTY ANT

Ants and peonies seem to go together. Ants protect the flowers from nuisance pests and the flowers provide the ants with nectar. A win win.  I enjoy these flowers too as well as the sport of catching an ant as it speeds around the peony buds!

HONEYSUCKLE

Let’s just call it Honeysuckle 😏

(See comment below)

This plant is an attractive but invasive species introduced to North America in the late 1800s from Asia. Unlike the native honeysuckles they leaf out early and remain in leaf into the fall. Like many invasive plants, they are hardy and outcompete native plants for space and nutrients. They are pretty though and a common sight each spring.

THIS OLD HOUSE

I often photograph this old house. The tree is slow to bud but casts some interesting shadows on the wall. You can see some green shoots on the lawn too. The weather shot up to 29 C/84 F today (last week we were digging out from an ice storm 😏).

BY THE RIVER

We’ve discovered a few new trails close to the river. Walking by one day, I saw this Great Blue Heron in the reeds.  I wasn’t far from the bird and didn’t want to cause it to fly off. I shouldn’t have worried though as something else had its entire attention.
