Here is the conclusion of last Thursday’s (21st) outing.
The male Zabulon Skipper (Poanes zabulon) was not an easy target. It was not going to wait on me. However, I finally caught one.
More Cardinal Flowers!
Small White Morning Glory (Ipomoea lacunosa) was going to seed.
Clammyweed (Polanisia dodecandra ) stretched up like a giraffe!
We made it back to the bridge, hot and tire. However we just had to take a quick peek up stream.
Ahhh, awesome! Even more Cardinal Flowers! I saw a bend in the creek. The decision was that was as far as we were going to go.
A face with a big chin! 😉
Whoa! What a thick patch at the bend! Yes, we really did stop here.
Anchored in a rock!
Why Do Some Bees Dig? Thanks Jeanne!
Octopuses could get the same protections as mice and monkeys thanks to a growing body of evidence that suggests they feel pain

Keep looking!
The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know
Im always amazed at the things that grow out of rocks or concrete. If they protect everything that feels pain we won’t be able to eat😄
Amazing cardinal flower! It sure is having a good year!
Funny Polanisia! And I’m in awe of the cardinal flower bush!
We were amazed too!
I loved our days of exploring up and down the ditches at the grasslands. So much to discover.
Never run out of things to discover. And I miss our grassland days too. 🙁
Beautiful creek!
