I found them in the evening.

A day later, I took some more photos in the morning.

Insects enter here, with pollen:

I took too many photos.

And then I say these two tough guys.

In bud.In flower. Now you can see why it is also called Old Man’s Whiskers.

I have seen a large area of three flowered avens on pasture. It looks like a smoky cloud on the ground, which is why another name for it is Prairie Smoke.

Here are some night shots.

I was walking in the pasture when I saw a bit of yellow on a wormwood plant. Now I know the wormwood, which we call stink weed, does not have yellow flowers. Was it a clump of dandelion petals, I wondered, but how would they have detached?

I put a finger near, and it moved.

Probably a Goldenrod Crab Spider, Misumena Vatia.

They catch their prey with the help of their long front legs and not with the help of a web. They can sit still for days, even weeks, waiting for their prey.

When I zoomed in, I was a little grossed out. Spiders are not my favourite. But the exotic colouring made me keep snapping the shutter.

A member of the iris family.

That’s not really what it’s called. It may be a type of oyster mushroom.

Maybe at first glance he’s funny looking, but he’s beautiful on the inside.
