Nature study
These were all taken between the house and the end of the driveway. First, we have the dutch irises that M. brought over from the house he remodeled with a friend and sold right before we started dating. They've pretty much taken over the place.


I don't know what these are...a wildflower or weed of some sort.


Here is a thistle for Leslie. In another day or two it will bloom. M. said to tell you if left unchecked these suckers can grow to eight feet tall.


I showed this guy to M. and he said "Tater bug."
"Really?"
"Well, actually it's a Colorado Potato Beetle," locally known as a Tater Bug.
