Hey all. As I have to watch my data time, I haven't posted pics in a while. Have a little catching up to do, so doing it all in one post. Hope you don't mind.
2016.07.29 Fuzzy Grasses -- -- These grasses grow along the side of the road and in some farm fields every year. On the way to town yesterday, I cut a few on the way in, but they were already fully dried and a little wind-blown from traffic.....and wind! Saw a place that we stopped on the way home and got some nicer stalks. Have NO IDEA what this stuff is!!
2016.07.14 Moon and the Trees -- -- I think the wife took this shot. I'm not brave enough to face all the skeeters after dark!
2016.07.01 Deer -- -- We had gone for a drive even farther in the middle of nowhere than where we live - and that's pretty darn far out! Along the way, we first happened across this button buck who was having a conniption fit from all the horse flies biting him. We first saw him at about 220 yards. We stopped and he just kept coming closer and closer. Couldn't tell if he wanted us to put him out of his misery or if he thought maybe we could help get rid of the pests. He - was - miserable!! After a while though, he chose to head for dense cover - I suppose trying to let the vegetation brush the bloodsuckers off. About a mile later we saw this doe about 450 yards away. She walked towards us up to about 300 yards before we started moving again. At about 200 yards, she left the road and headed into the brush.
2016.06.29 Canola Field -- -- The field wasn't quite at the peak of beauty, but this would be our only trip past. All the canola was harvested before we went to town again. This field is mediocre. In the past, have seen fields so bright yellow that you almost needed sunglasses just to look at them!
2016.06.27 White Flowers -- -- There's an interesting story behind these flowers. After we got married, we lost our house to fire. A plant like this burned off level with the ground. We thought for sure it was dead! But it grew back, and I mean with a vengeance!! We transplanted it to a sunnier location (out of the way of the new home), and it thrived even more. Then we transplanted it up here. It's so cold and such a high water table that the plant hasn't bloomed in well over a decade. This is the first year it has bloomed at this property, and OH!, it smelled so awesome!! I think the flowering plants just needed that drier-than-normal Spring for their start. But like always, it ended up being an ultra-high water table again before too long.
