Sunday nature study
This are pics of roadside flowers along our walk today.

This is burdock, the source of the burrs that cling to your pants, or get wrapped up in dog hair and won't come out. I had no idea it was ever pretty or had any redeeming value at all.


Chickory is everywhere alongside the roads. The groundhogs love it, which can be bad for the groundhogs. You see a lot of them smooshed on the roads around here.


Queen Anne's Lace is all over too. We have a bunch of it in fields around the house as well as along the roadside.
