Sunday Boredom

Sunday afternoon was incredibly boring, forcing me to flee outdoors to swipe a few scenes from an old, delapidated farm wagon:

Meadow Rue

A mass of Meadow Rue. Plenty of it in the roadsides right now.

Shadowy Burrs

In the mood for shadows? Me, neither, but there was nothing else to post on the blog today. I know not the name of this burr-y plant.

Anemone

Meadow Anemone: A rather plain-Jane wildflower---related to Buttercup and blooming like crazy right now.

Northern Bedstraw

I kid you not.....the name of this teeny-tiny wildflower is "Northern Bedstraw".

Plucked from yesterday's photo.....

Wild Rose

June brings wild rose blossoms.
