These are some of what I found today on a short walk. Short because of the heat, it's in the 90s plus high humidity. I hadn't taken any in a few days, so I figured it was time to get back out there. I should have got a K-5 so it'd be weather sealed against the sweat from my brow.
@luftfluss - finally got one!
Excuse the vignetting, I reversed a 50mm on my 70-300mm for this one. Effective magnification is approximately 2:1.
Dunno what it is, but it sure is weird. I think it's a nymph stage.
Feverfew flower. The leaves of this are used for migraine.
Meadow Rue flowers.
A potato flower. You can see the similarity to nightshade flowers, and other
Solanum species.
A long grass in flower. Not sure of species.
A beetle I rescued from one of the rain barrels, still soaking wet.
Crab spider waiting with open arms. It's on one of the first milkweed flowers to open.
Common Mallow flower, showing the pollen nodes. It looks better at full size.
Sage flower, or
Salvia officinalis. This is the common, edible herb.
That's all for now.
