Butterfly Surprise
…have you ever seen a tagged butterfly?
I love getting up close to bees and butterflies but when I saw this monarch I thought someone had played a cruel trick.
When I got home and took a closer look at the photo I checked out what I saw on the tag. Monarch Watch is a real thing. If you’d like to learn more about this organization check it out https://monarchwatch.org/tagging/index.html#recoveries

Dusted With Pollen
This time of year the flowers are bursting with pollen and the bees and wasps are hungrily gorging on nectar before winter sets in.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Modern Homes and Apartments
…thanks to Cee for hosting the Fun Foto Challenge – https://ceenphotography.com/2020/08/25/cees-fun-foto-challenge-all-about-buildings-modern-homes-and-apartments/
There’s been a lot of rebuilding going on in my neighbourhood. Older homes are being torn down and replaced with more modern structures.
The Evolution of the Burr
We’ve all experienced those annoying burrs that stick to our clothes and dogs, especially in the fall and early spring. Ever wonder what they look like before they become those brown prickly seed pods?
The burdock plant is an invasive weed on North America and other parts of the world. It appears in mid-summer, from July to September. The burr itself can hang on over the winter and into the next growing season.
