T Elle Cee found a Monarch Butterfly caterpillar on Common Milkweed leaving our Summer Solstice, Drumming Down the Sun & Yoga on the Beach at Lakeside Park, Port Dalhousie. My video explains!
Bee Happy! Beekeeper on the way!
Bee Happy. I am, a beekeeper on the way to collect my swarm!
My annual visitors. Every year at this time. And soon they will be gone!
Sciurus carolinensis ballet. 🙂 Remember NOT to feed these critters sunflower seeds or peanuts, which are not a nut. They rob their body of calcium; harms their health, leads to malnutrition. It also harms their teeth which need to gnaw on really hard native nuts to keep them filed down - since they never stop growing. Spread the word!
Volume for a moment of calm. “I come from haunts of coots and hern, I make a sudden sally, And sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley.” Alfred Lord Tennyson Christmas Day 2019 along the Bruce Trail. (Who knows what a hern is?!)
I worked in Ornamental Entomology at Agriculture Canada so I really like insects. Even the pests are interesting!
Pawpaws are North America’s largest native tree fruit. And we can grow them here in our Tender Fruit Belt. 🙂❤️ (From October 2019 and Willow is one year old.)
Oh my this is a first for me. I live in the middle of The Owl Foundation, at my @bonnybankbnb As today’s guests were leaving this is what we heard. I will post another little video soon that explains - if you don’t understand what is happening.
Hee, hee....will post this here for you Nature Nuts and not on my @bonnybankbnb page! Came in with parsley I grew. Can you name our visitor?
Still trying to find out what makes the snap, crackle pop in the leaves in the ground....you can hear it best at the very end.
Mr. Manitoba Maple flowers doing a ballet for the female flowers. Reddish anthers with pale yellow pollen, at the end of their pedicels. Four to 20 per umbel-like clusters from ends of twigs.
Can anyone tell me what snap crackle pop is in the ground of grass and leaves and dried goldenrod as I walk by on the path? Best sound is at the very end. It’s like the ground is alive (with something)! You can only hear the crackling when I walk by.
