Ant on a peony, water droplets on a leaf that made me think of a stick figure, and the start of blooms on coral honeysuckle where the picture/angle made me think of flying a kite.

We hate disturbing wildlife but these nests were brand new and not in safe areas…mailbox and by front door…so they had to be removed…unfortunately ants got to the eggs in the paper wasp nest in a matter of minutes and the bald face hornet nest was shredded by something…I had placed both in the garden bed until I decided what to do with them…fascinating works of art!

A wave of blooms…irises (2 colors), mountain laurel (2 colors), elderberry flowers, peony, celosia (new color added to the mix…it’s yellow but my pics make it appear orange), and poppy (with petals and after they dropped).

In addition to growing flowers, my toad seeds are sprouting like crazy. I had several more pictures that didn’t make the cut.

It has been a while since I shared some photography. Life has been crazy...all mostly good! I am still taking pics but just haven’t taken the time to post. These are some I grabbed during a family walk along the Susquehanna River on Mother’s Day. The heart was on a landscape rock at the place we enjoyed dessert prior to our walk and my youngest found it.

The Crocuses are done for another year and while the Daffodils are still in full bloom, I can’t remember if I shared about them already. The Vinca is almost if not more abundant than the Bloodroot. The Dogwoods are starting to open, there is Speedwell all through the yard, and Hyacinth and Glory-of-the-Snow are in bloom. Every day brings something new!!!

Bloodroot and Spring Beauty, Virginia Bluebells, Dutchmen’s Breeches, Trout Lily, and Mayapple…the ephemerals I have identified…I am absolutely loving “Runkle’s Wildflower Preserve”!!! 😉

Aconite blooms and one crocus so far…the bees are happy and so am I. Next up is the daffodils and tulips. We put up the temporary fencing around the garden pods to keep the deer from decimating what’s to come. They have plenty of food on the lily bank as I saw there are shoots sprouting up there too. Today was a very productive garden day. My brain is excited for tomorrow but I am not sure my body is.
