For this.
And this.

| Phlox drummondii - Annual Phlox |
And this.
We made the failed attempt to get poles for the shelter, and then arrived at Tree Ring to this.
But it just didn't matter. It was such a great day! Nothing could bother us.
We sat in the middle of Tree Ring and ate our standard fare.
It only rained a short time, so we went for a walk. The blackberries aren't quite ripe. Maybe two more weeks.
On our walk we found some interesting plants.
 |
| Asarum arifolium - Heartleaf Wild Ginger |
 |
| Pterocaulon virgatum - Wand Blackroot |
 |
| Dyschoriste oblongifolia - Oblongleaf Twinflower |
Please share if you know what they are.
It was getting late, but we decided to go a longer way home, and found more beautiful plants.
 |
| Opuntia Humifusa - Prickly Pear Cactus |
Turning a corner, we came upon the coolest homemade bridge.
Followed by our first Florida bunny sighting.
And a turkey and a deer hanging together.
How strange.
All in all a beautiful Memorial Weekend day.
Blackberries in two weeks! Yessssssssss!
Beautiful wildlife and wildflower photos! What a beautiful escape from the city. I love the country!
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like a nice play to call home. I'm just a tad bit jealous.
ReplyDeleteBlackberries are the best, aren't they? I'll live with the stained hands they give, which to me is the sign of a great childhood afternoon.
ReplyDeleteGreat pix - loved bunny and deer ones especially. Burb gal will look out the window and appreciate nature. I leave camping to you youngsters. Love, buzzinmama
ReplyDeleteWell, I've been catching up on your blog, Sue. Now that I've read through your 5 things... can I call you Sue? Sound like you two had a great Memorial Weekend TRC style. Always fun to read your stories. I think the red unidentified flowers are Coral bean/Erythrina Herbacea. I wish mine would bloom but they never have.
