GOLDEN RAGWORT.

SMALL GAME.

.

This is about the only game there is to hunt in this neck of the woods.

CHAMOMILE.

. These little daisies look like the common Ox-eye Daisy, except they are much smaller and the leaves of the plant are very different.

All the summer blosssoms are starting to look raggedy and many are already gone.

Found these. as usual, near my back door.

THE ONE THAT NEVER GOT AWAY.

.

Flies may be amongst the lowest forms of life, but ,as humans, we may have already exceeded that distinction by our greed, our selfishness, and our lust to use to extintion all the finite resources of the planet. Man may have a brain, but he sure as hell , unlike the fly, does not have a lot of common sense. We appear to be blind to what is happening all around us. The flies may survive, (at this point, we don't harvest them) where we, most likely, will all perish

SMART GUY.

.Flies may not have much brain, but they sure are clever when it comes to eluding a predator. Try catching one! It took me two days to corner this fellow.

THE VIOLET.

.

A couple of macro shots.

LABRADOR TEA.
.

(Note earlier posts on plant.)
.
This is a delicious drink, easy to prepare, abundant and free because it grows in the wild. I wonder why no one has hit upon the idea of marketing it.

AFRICAN VIOLET.

Mostly setimental reasons. This little plant is coming into its first bloom. It is a clipping from from my mom's African Violet that has been well cared for in her memory. My mom has been deceased for 38 years, so the mother plant has got to be at least 40 years old. She was a great lover of plants and would be glad to know that her Violet is still thriving and sharing its beauty.
