I had intended to link to these photos with yesterday's entry, but had not been able to upload the photos. (I suspect my husband's laptop is a bandwidth hog.) So, after having uploaded them in the dark of night, I offer here a teaser and a link to more pictographic goodness:

QAL 1

The Queen Anne's Lace wildflowers are in full bloom, delighting the tiny wasps and other insects who rely on nectar. After they bloom, the seedheads curl inward, then dry and turn brittle before shattering at the slightest touch and hurling seed everywhere. Before the meadow below the house was bushhogged two weeks ago, it was carpeted with QAL and black-eyed susans.

I also took some shots of the abundance of insects dancing around the QAL and other flowers in bloom right now, and you can find those photos and one of the resident goose on my flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8556491@N07/ (Psst, [livejournal.com profile] mnfaure: beetles!)

Photos! Thanks! :D Those beautifuls...er, I meant to type "beetles," but I see my slip makes sense in light of what I wanted to say...those beetles have the most stunning coloring. :)
