Actually a Dogwood Spittle Bug-Clastoptera proteus. Very tiny, maybe the size of a half rice grain. The post title comes from a Facebook friend who saw it as that. I totally did not until he mentioned it. As they say, “Now I can’t unsee it”. 😀
Spring Foliage doesn’t get its props
Mountain Laurel to be precise. I look forward to mid June for the Kalmia latifolia blooms. There have been some down years, I guess as they rest, but this has been a good one in most of the places I visit.
This last one was about as easy as they come. Visiting the Rail Trail here in Amherst, I got out of my vehicle in the carpark and looked up. Easy as can be.
It’s possible that there may be more…or not. 😀
The color is fading at this point but it is yellow. It’s a species that like sunlight although we have it in mixed light.
Taken with my iPhone 16 Pro Max
No, I’m not stealing his tunes, just a title. On Facebook I started an album by that name after having some Hosta fun outside the house. Just some abstract drop shots…not a tennis reference. 😀
We’ll see what tomorrow brings but I hope that you’re not holding a grudge over my disappearance.
Those of you who have been acquainted with me for a while sure do know, I bet. 🙂
We’ve had a goodly amount of rain lately which I don’t mind as catching flowers with raindrops is a favorite thing, especially on a favorite flower.
For my earlier post I couldn’t decide whether to acknowledge my absence and decided to not since I did that once before and then disappeared again. I can’t say for sure whether that’ll be the case this time but it’s an available time thing. I appreciate those of you who follow this blog and one reason I stepped back was not having the time to respond in kind to everyone else’s posts which I thought to be unappreciative. I’ve a bit more time now as I am just working 5 hours a day 3 or 4 days/week so maybe I’ll be better able to take part in blogging. I’ve been active on Facebook but for some reason that isn’t as difficult, for me at least, to stay current.
