Temps have finally become seasonal, with highs reaching the mid 20s c. The gardens are planted , and shrub shearing begun. I spent some time in the mountains, and the black flies have scaled back big time with plenty of dragon flies about. It's dear and horse fly season there now so bites are bigger but people have a fighting chance of swatting them first.
This flower spike is almost 2 feet tall
one of the many mushroom varieties in the mountains
the violet hews on these guys are amazing, only seen at certain sun angles.
berries on the way
roadside flowers
I helped this guy out of the garage , it was 5 min. before it would stay on my hand long enough for me to carry it out. Next time I came out of the house one exactly like it was on my boots at the door. I felt like it was now following me, lol
a very populous variety around Ottawa these days.
at my pee stop on the long drive to the mountains
morning out the front door
on the north side of the house
it's no wonder this is the last variety of peony to open. The first rain and it was lying on the ground.
even more full of bloom today.
Enjoy your day
