Creeping Creeper


Virginia creeper

Leafing out in brown and rust

Tinged with green edges

Nature's Pearls

I don't know which I'm drawn to more - the exquisite green folds and textures

Or the glistening drops of perfection

Catbird Fatality

I'm back on the water! Sheesh! I've already had one tick bite since I got home, and 2 unattached ones looking for an opportunity - at least the lake is safe ...

I came across a gray catbird in the water whilst out kayaking, and though it was no longer alive, its beautiful feather patterns and coloration begged to be admired. Look at the delicate gradations of texture and color up close - so amazing!

It has the most amazingly elegant legs and claws, too.

Velvet Hearts

Silky wild ginger

With blooms inconspicuous

In the leafstalk crotch
