Since I went to such great strides yesterday to post a non-flower shot, here’s a… flower shot! I know, surprising, right? To all five of you who read this blog, that is. 
This is a macro of a St. John’s Wort flower, shot near the hospital.
My Little Friend

This cinnabar caterpillar was hanging out on a railing on the south end of 4th Ave. the other day. I posted a photo of some of these last year and jokingly called it ‘infestation.’ I was quickly schooled in how helpful these caterpillars are, as they are used by farmers to eat tansy ragwort, which is poisonous to cattle and horses.
So, no more jokes from me about these caterpillars. Except to say the name ‘cinnabar’ makes me think of ‘cinnamon,’ which makes me hungry for cinnamon toast.

This little mushroom invaded my front yard, so I got my camera a bit messy by setting it in the wet dirt to get some photos. At one point I even started to dig with it, until I realized digging in the dirt with something which costs that much was probably not a good idea. I’m smart that way.

Just a macro of a dandelion for today. I spotted it a few days ago off of 4th Ave.

This little blue marble was sitting on some fill dirt at Lone Oak Cemetery a couple of days ago, right next to the fall crocus from yesterday’s post. That dark blob reflected in the middle of the marble is me.

I stopped to take some photos of a sunflower down at the community garden on 4th Ave. a few days ago, when this bee surprised me by landing on the flower right in front of my face.
UFO

I noticed yesterday the St. John’s Wort ground cover along the edge of 10th Ave. were almost all gone for the year, so I stopped and took a few photos of one of the two I could find. As usual, I ended up going really macro on the shot instead of getting an overall photo of the flower. I’m talented like that. Anyway, the way the flower appears in this photo reminds me of a UFO, hence the title.
I’m just happy this is one of the few flowers I can actually name.

This little fella (assuming it is a he, of course) was climbing on the back of my house a couple of days ago. I don’t know what kind of caterpillar he is, but he’s cute.
I moved him to a nearby tree after I took this photo. I hope he’s not the destructive kind of moth/butterfly when he gets older.
