A whole herd of turkeys!

 

 

 

See him?

 

Wolf spider from the back.

 

He let me come around front and get his mug shot.

These things are big!

This is elephants foot

I looked up fungus but didn't find this one.

 

I don't know....yet.

 

 

Garden spider

 

Tiny white flower

&

Tiny white bug

 

This looks like snake root except for the leaves.

I tend to think it's some kind of rush. 

 

Ironweed

 

This drop of whatever it is surprised me. No idea where it came from or what it is.

 



 

Wren

 

Bee and honeysuckle.

Boy! His saddlebags are loaded!

Mist flowers

 



August photos, the 16 thru the 19th.

Posting my photos like this, you are going to see many of the same things more than once. Sometimes even in the same posting!

I hope they are varied enough that you don't get bored with them.

 

 

 

Dragonfly

 

See him?

This is the first time I saw one of these unusual spiders.

I looked it up. It's a spiny-bellied orb weaver.

More specifically it's a spined micrathena.

Isn't it awesome!

I saw another one since then, so you'll see it again.

 

 

Daddy longlegs is the common name, but he has another name, it's harvestmen.

This wasp is a great golden digger wasp and not aggressive.

 

 

I don't know, but if I ever find out, I'll let you know

 

Oh the passionflowers!

 

I love them and I'm going to plant some on my fence line.

I have no idea if this is a salamander or lizard or skink.

They're kind of all the same kind of critter.

Thistle and bug

 

See? No leaves except the broad ones at the bottom.

These guys are 6 or 7 feet tall.

 

 

The first time I saw these twins, but not the last.

They seemed more curious than afraid and I took a lot of photos of them this day.

Having a snack.

 

 

Not sure what he's eating but he made short work of it.

 I like dragonflies

 



 

I think this is white snakeroot

Their wings can get quite ragged and they still fly

 

 

Got his shadow
