It looks like this poor coneflower popped out too soon and is going to seed without getting any petals.
Category: photos
Part of my ongoing effort to photo every plant in the yard. I love basil, but it’s not vary hardy compared to herbs like thyme and rosemary – a long weekend of 90 degrees with no water might kill it.
In other news, the K20D is still working – I can’t remember when it last froze. The freezing thing seems to happen more often when the battery is fully charged.
Fungus ruffles
I saw this stuff while hiking near Pine Lake at Wheaton Regional Park.
These guys were painting the front of a building in Nashville. There was work going on all over the place to repair flood damage, but I think this was just normal maintenance.
Vendors only
We went to the Nashville Farmer’s Market a couple of times – we had to go back for more of the super-juicy peaches we found there. One of the buildings was closed because of the flooding, but there were still plenty of fruit, vegetable, and sock (?) vendors around in the undamaged buildings.
