Birdsfoot

Birdsfoot trefoil grows in yellow abundance along the shoulders of our roads at this time of year.

The plant was used at one time as feed for livestock.

Osteospermum

This flower is also called “African Daisy” or “Cape Daisy”. Very colourful, and the yellow ones we bought at the nursery close up at night and reopen in full daylight. We also have some purple/blue ones that don’t do this so I guess it’s not a pattern of behaviour for all of these flowers.

Daisy

I am a sucker for daisies and brown-eyed susans and so these guys are right up my alley.

Here’s a photograph of the purple/blue ones.

Dandelions

They are much maligned as an ugly little plant. But there are some redeeming qualities.

Especially in large groups. (“I wandered lonely as a cloud…?”)

The lone tulip surrounded by all the yellow may develop some kind of complex.

I will be at the Elks Club tomorrow presenting prints and cards at the Treehouse Boutique Show. I thought that I would publish early since I will be quite busy setting up in the early morning. I hope to see you there.

Spring On Hold!

Three inches of snow on the ground this morning have put a major hold on Spring.

As a public service and to keep spirits up, here is a reminder of what’s to come.

Fall in Northern Ontario has the most spectacular colours of all.

Fall Swamp

World class destination at this time of the year.

Or any time of year for that matter.

Splash

In early fall the green of the vegetation gets punctuated by incongruous bits of colour.

This splash is yellow (with a bit of red thrown in).

Susans

I find brown eyed susans to be one of the more attractive wildflowers that grow in our part of the world.

Massed or individually,

…they are pretty neat.

They also “play well with others”…

Brightening a Gray Morning

It’s a gray morning.  Rain, fog and little light.  This may brighten it up!

Susans High Key

Perhaps it will hasten the arrival of the sunshine.

A hint to the gods?
