Another Spring Bloom Blog + Extras

Moth on Mesquite

In addition to gardening chores, Inge and I strolled Die Weide where I looked for new blooms and other critters to photograph. I brought my 70-200 zoom lens in hopes of capturing bird photos, but the foliage density prevented snapping the few birds I saw. However, above I snapped a moth sitting on mesquite tree.

Small Orange Bloom

 The search for new flowers turned up a few new blooms. I know from walking the land in years past that finding new blooms won't be difficult as different plants bloom in different seasons, though late summer blooms taper off - either from lateness of season or the drought we've suffered the last few years.

Another small yellow blossom - leaves interesting too.

Tiny White Blossoms

This blossom is so tiny, yet enough of them grow to be visible. Below I held my index finger next to the bloom for perspective.
