A gall on what I think is an ash tree. Really bizarre things, created by insects or microorganisms. It's about the size of a ping-pong ball.
|
More galls forming on the same tree. The tree will be fine, so we're not worried.
|
Honeysuckle. There are vines everywhere. Before long, the air will smell oh so sweet.
|
More honeysuckle.
|
Blackberry flowers. While we do have a lot of honeysuckle, it's nothing compared to the amount of blackberry bushes here, especially by the creek. I would have gotten photos today, but we had some good rain, and I didn't feel like sinking in the swampy ground.
|
You can see the blackberry starting to form.
|
Fluffy seed pods on a black willow tree. When I arrived home from work the other day, it was really breezy. Every time a good gust of wind came up, the seed pods would scatter. There were so many of them, it looked like it was snowing.
|
Little tiny future wild cherries.
|
Even tinier baby scuppernong grapes!
