Welcome Back

Welcome Back © Lynn Wiles 2020
In the times of the coronavirus, it is nice that nature is still springing up. My checkerboard lilies (Fritillaria meleagris), decided to come back after I thought they were long gone. I’m in a conundrum, my only time out of the house is walking the dog or finding deserted places for her to run off leash. Neither is conducive to photography. I have been enjoying all the spring buds and blooms knowing that in previous years I have posted them on my blog. I’ve been working from home for weeks now and yes, the construction is still going on and on.

Ever since the demise of one half of my pussy willow tree, it has been throwing out shoots in abundance. At first it was around the stump, but now they are migrating up the trunk of the other half. Yes, I’ve been cutting them off and this one made a face.

A few days of fall like temperatures and things are beginning to change colors, but the heat will return in a couple of days.

It was sad to pull out the magnificent tall smartweed that was taking over my raspberry patch, but I did it.

The unusual state of having only three petals may be what makes Euphorbia look like the are about to fly.
