Thimbleberry, Rubus parviflorusYesterday I was inspired (No, Owen, I hadn't planned on going for a walk in the rain yesterday) to go for a walk. A misty rain was falling ...
I noticed each thimbleberry blossom in one section of the woods had a tiny beetle in the middle. Every time I tried to get my little point-n-shoot camera close enough for a shot, they would drop off and disappear.
Except one. It didn't even notice that I was there!
Oh. Now I know why.
Bee and Nootka Rose, Rosa nutkana
Cut-leaved Geranium, Geranium dissectum
After this shot the rain started coming down really hard, so I packed up my camera and went home.
Oooooh, MY! (blush) You are right, there's a reason they didn't pay attention!!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I LOVED your photo of the cut leaf geranium--just gorgeous and fills my eyes.
