It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is one I have seen recently and is about done in my area, Prairie Larkspur. It blooms in May and June and is part of the Buttercup family. This flower is poisonous to cattle if they ingest it. They may eat it as they find it palatable so it needs to be removed from their pastures.
This past weekend, while on a bike ride I was able to see and capture a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. I seem to see them about once per year and sometimes get to capture them but rarely. I got lucky again this year. Their long tails make them very agile fliers. Males are more vibrantly colored than females, especially the salmon-pink flank so I am guessing this is a female.
Happy Monday and happy new week! My Columbine is alive though not really thriving. I need to refresh it's soil. It did flower this year so that made me happy as I love these flowers.
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! This is another image from last year of the Porter and the 353 sitting outside the roundhouse while we had our safety meeting. I'll be up there soon to help out around the area but won't really work with these two locomotives till Labor Day weekend during the annual show.
It's a double digit day! 😀 Today's image is an older one I had taken of a nice sunset with my drone. It is overlooking our huge high school complex.
It's Friday, TGIF! We have been having rain lately which has been good as were incredibly dry. I took this image of raindrops hanging off Cedar trees on last Saturday morning. I loved the bokeh in this image and so I am sharing it for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious.
One day recently, while on a bike ride, there was a friendly horse up near the road. It allowed me to get a few photos so I picked some nice green grass for it and fed, I think it was a her, as a thank you.
