Some Summer Flowers

As I lay me down to sleep, I realize I need to write up a quick blog.  Happy things for today:

  • Instead of doing the things I should have done early this morning, I took some down time/self care.
  • Later in the morning I went for a walk with a friend for a different kind of self care.
  • Lens identified a new to me plant-or at least I don't remember it.
The purple flowering plant is a
pickerelweed.
  • Sometimes I take pictures quickly and look at them later and notice something.  This time there was a bee that I didn't see when I got close to take a picture of this bindweed.
Bindweed with a yellow jacket?

  • When I got the SD card from the wildlife camera I noticed a vervain plant and some jewelweed.
Probably common vervain.

Orange jewelweed.
