Our unseasonable heatwave has ended thank goodness. Let's go outside.
In June the long loose fuzzy leaders of the Douglas fir trees are like characters out of a Dr. Suess book.
Onward and upward!
Grow, grow, grow!
Lots of verdant growth including this teasle.
This is Plantain.
California Corn Lily.
Fuzzy grasses.
Columbia Lily buds - future flowers.
This is the end of the Pacific Ninebark blossoms.
Pollen decorating grasses.
Horsetails
Vine Maple
The Osoberries have been picked over, so it's a good thing for the Cedar Waxwings that the Bitter cherries are ripening.
I wonder who has been working here?
Hope you are up for another walk in a week's time.
Everything looks so green and lush there, Beth! I hope you can solve the mystery of the hole in the tree :)
ReplyDeleteI think maybe the plants are as happy as we are to have this nasty heat gone. We came home from 95 and humid to 95 and a bit dryer. I dislike both very much. We did break down and get AC. After last summer, it was just too much. I always enjoy the walks.
ReplyDeleteGreat walk today, since I will NOT be going outdoors today in the excessive heat and humidity...I have a horrible migraine headache, woke with it and sundry other aches and pains--no idea what that's all about! But feel pretty rotten! I can't wait to see the progress of finding out more about that hole! Hugs!
