Bear with me……I had earmarked a few more dirt road photos to use here on the blog. The curved Queen Anne’s Lace stem in the above scene caught my eye as I was a-wandering along the old by-way last Sunday afternoon. That suddenly reminded me of a song we used to sing in grade school:
“Oh, I love to go a-wandering…..and as I go, I love to sing……my knapsack on my back! Val-da-ree, val-da-rah…..”

Next we have a green bug on a golden flower. I never have much luck finding flowers devoid of bugs……why is that? Grrrr. Oh well, the bugs can serve as a conversation piece, perhaps.
Next we have an unlikely couple……Wild Carrot (daucus carota)---the true name of Queen Anne’s Lace--- making time with a wily Foxtail. Be careful there, girl!
A rosy-toned Foxtail:
And, next, a spent something or other, whatchamacallit sort of wildflower. Sorry, I’m too lazy to try and figure out what it is.
Lastly, a stand of Indian Grass, a regular throughout the Tall-Grass Prairie landscape.
Have a great day!

val-da-ree, val-da-rah...I remember that one too! At least I will have a happy song stuck in my head all day...;p
Me, too! I can even remember my 4th grade teacher who taught it to us. Mrs. Walsh.
Myron Floren and his accordion on The Lawrence Welk Show! Now, that takes me back.
I don't say that's necessarily a good thing....
