We Are Nature

Nature rejuvenates so quickly, so completely. Though we often view ourselves otherwise, we are nature. ~Jeb Dickerson



daisy underside
As pretty as their faces are, I like the look of some flowers from behind. The simple daisy is one of them.





feathery sprig
A feathery spring of.. something. It was swaying in the breeze and it's soft pink tones asked to be photographed. How could I deny it?






dam after the rain
After a very heavy rainfall, the dam is a churning, swirling puddle of water.






ducklings and mama
A proud mother mallard with her sweet little ducklings.






ducklings
Here's a larger group swimming close to the edge of the dam.






ducklings curious 2
The next day, they were all at the bottom of the dam. That one little cutie was awfully curious about the people watching from above.






garden sun
This cheery turquoise sun sits in my neighbour's front garden.

A clematis bud in Frank's back yard.






clover
A pretty purple clover with bright yellow flowers in the background.





sumac flowers
Sumac flowers. You have to get up really close to see that there are all these individual buds on the usual cone shaped bloom.






eastern yellow swallow tail missing
This Eastern Yellow Swallowtail has lost half of its left hindwing. It didn't seem to slow him down any.
