Day 108 "Wild Daisies"

Day 107 "Not For Chewing"

Sweetgum seedpod

However, it is not sweet, nor is it gum.

Day 106 "More Anthers Than Questions"

Day 105 "Cast Your Blues To The Wind"

I'm sorry this is so blurry. There was a brisk breeze at the time. I want to show all of our wildflowers, and unfortunately, this was my only shot of these.

Day 104 "Ready To Pop"

Day 103 *My Pretty Posie*

Day 102 "Fresh"

Day 101 "Hi, Honeysuckle, I'm Home!""

Day 100 "Eww, Aphids?"

And what is that ant carrying on its back?

Day 99 "Not A Snake"

... but it sure made me do a double-take!

Day 98 "Next Year's Crop"

Day 97 "Floodwaters Were Here"

We had 4.75" of rain just overnight and it caused major flooding at the bottom of our property. This is the path the water takes as it rushes down our steep hill. There's not supposed to be a creek here, much less a stray tire. That washed down from our neighbor's property, several hundred feet uphill, at least.

This is a low spot where the water from the hill follows the flood plain and makes its way to Big Running Creek, at our back property line.

The creek is about 25' beyond the treeline, and it's banks are about 4.5' high. I know it came out this far because the tall, uncut grass is all lying down and has been swept with force in one direction.

Grass all swept over, headed toward a lower spot downstream.

Downed trees were swept out into the open. This is all I got before the camera batteries died, but the whole *lower 40* looks just like this. Grass swept over and debris strewn everywhere. I sure wish I had thought to go down in the morning when the water was still high. By supppertime, the floodwaters had receeded back into their banks.

Day 96 "I've Got The Blues"

Day 95 "Bright"

Day 94 "Say, Ahhh"

Sticking her tongue out at me

Cookie, working hard to graze.

Day 90 "The Mighty Hunter"

Jasmine

Day 89 "Translucent"

Day 88 "After The Rain"

Not.

Day 87 "Peek-a-boo, I See You!"

I was getting ready to dump this picture because it isn't tack sharp, but decided to pan it first. Sometimes I do this and find something more interesting that the subject of the pic itself.

<-- This held true again when I found a bug coming out from hiding.

Day 86 "Waiting For Someone"
