Morning Stroll

From our walk this morning there were yellow (grey-headed) coneflowers, black-eyed Susans and a second batch of eastern bluebirds.

 

Wildflower Walk

It's been oppressively hot for awhile; consequently we try to get our walk out of the way in the earlier morning.

From a few days ago there was this.

From our walk yesterday we were greeted with cooler temps and a nice breeze.

And the flowers in the pollinator patch have exploded in both variety and numbers.  In order of appearance are, Ox Eye. Bee Balm, Boneset, Compass Plant, Milkweed, Yellow Coneflower, Showy Tick-Trefoil, Black-Eyed Susan along with a dog.
