Flowers are getting scarce – hopefully when the weather cools there will be a fall bloom.

Another air plant common to this area. Air plants are not parasitic, their main harm to a plant is blocking sunlight – they don’t use any nutrients.
Bokeh
Interesting blur in the background.
Another Attempt

I’m going to try a new feature which will run periodically on either Tuesday or Thursday. It will of course have a picture and a bit of a message. I started out blogging, wanting to improve my writing skills and haven’t done that. I’m working on a bit about Rachel Carson, having just finished reading her biography. I’m going to try to have it ready for Thursday. Any ideas about how many words are enough – without being too many?
Wildflower Wednesday
“When bees die through pesticide poisoning, it should ring alarm bells throughout the agricultural system that we ignore at our peril”.
– Phil Chandler, The Barefoot Beekeeper.
So I didn;t have any good flower pics, so we must have bees eating from wildflower pics.
