A FEW FLOWERS

I wrote all about Queen Anne's Lace at this post.  Whenever I see it blooming I always take photos.  I don't have to go too far to see these.  All the information about this flower you can find at the above link.

Next come the Black-eyed Susans.  I shared the following photo that I turned into art, which you can see here.

And another from the same area at this link where I share info about the Lazy Susans.

I love the look of Lazy Susans.
This is a favorite photo of one of the windows at the visitor center.  Those aren't birds flying around as I first thought. I took a quick look from a little distance away.  They are stickers to safeguard our feathered friends.
Not sure what the next one is.  My plant app gave me another name.  I rarely find myself doubting them but as I didn't have much surrounding for them to clue in on, leaves and whatnot, my Doubting Thomas radar kicked in.  They told me it was Western-purslane.  I don't think so.  Who knows, it could even be a coneflower!   Maybe one of our more knowledgeable blogging friends will be able to give its form a correct identification.
That's all for today.

Thank you for visiting and I hope your week is going well.

      I agree Ginny and have often said how lovely it would be to have a home like that. I really do love these old places :)

    Oh this was a wonderful wander about. Could it be some sort of thistle? You have roused my curiosity. Aloha!

      It certainly was Cloudia. It does look like a thistle doesn't it? :)

    Although your post is not about the house in the background, but I love that house. The steep pitched roof, the stonework, and finally that flowered landscaping. Beautiful.

      I love the house too :) It's my kind of house, along with their flower beds in front.

    It's always lovely seeing through your camera lens, Denise. Such great shots of the Queen Anne's Lace opening and in full bloom. The bird stickers on the windows are such a good idea to protect the birds. We have a bank of windows with panes that the birds fly into frequently. Sometimes they sadly don't make it. I hope your week is going well, my friend.

      So happy you think so Martha Ellen, I feel the same way when looking at others' views. Always interesting to see what they see :) I put stickers up but the birds still occasionally fly into the glass. It's mostly doves nowadays but fortunately there have been no unhappy endings. They leave a few feathers behind and fly back up into the trees.

    I like the flowers in your area. Always a pleasure. That bird sticker on the window was a cool idea. Looks real.

    My parents used such stickers in their own windows.

    These are all pretty but I love the black eyed Susans with the building faded in the background.
