Dew Drenched Morn

Early morning covered everything with dew - from late summer  flowers to leaves on trees, even the bees!

Enjoy!

Morning 'Joe'

Nothing like dew covered Spotted Joe-Pye Weed in the morning to start your day.   Course, the other 'Joe' is fine too.  ;-)

Enjoy!

Morning Snow Glory

Evening snow looked lovely in the morning light.  It didn't take long for nearly all of it to melt.  The buds are swelling even with the bi-seasonal days.

Enjoy!

Emerging From the Mist

This morning was very foggy.  As I was walking on the creek path near the soccer fields, something new could be seen emerging from the mist.  The city has planted several new trees along the creek path.

Enjoy!

Dew Lace

Dew left over from the night exposed lacy threads of web early this morning at the park.


Beautiful day - Enjoy!

Beardtongue

Early morning dotted everything with dew, including this Slender Beardtongue.  This flower appears to have a rather hairy 'tongue'.

Enjoy!

Four O'Clock's in the Morning

What a fun thing to say, "I was out taking pictures of Four O' Clocks this morning."  No, I was not out at 4:00 a.m.   I was out taking pictures of the native flower: Wild Four O' Clock.  


An Iowa study found that this flower does indeed open between 3:30 and 4:00 in the afternoon.  Pollination usually happens at night.  I was out early enough to catch these before they closed for the day.  I was out early ... just not THAT early.  


Beautiful morning.  Enjoy!
