Nature’s Art #7.
Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your Friday and getting ready for a nice relaxing weekend. Well, maybe not too relaxing since we are getting close to Christmas and that means a lot of extra things to do. Lots of extra shopping. Lots of extra baking. But never lots of extra time. But hopefully you will have some time to sit back and unwind a bit from all the day’s activities. While we are doing that, let’s take a look at some more of that art found out in nature…
This seed head is from the yellow goat’s beard flower and is 2 and a half inches (6.5cm) across. It also stands over 2 feet (60cm) tall. Those seed heads have amazingly intricate designs in them.
The branches on these dead trees also provide amazing art against that beautiful blue sky background. Dead trees like this are an important part of a healthy forest ecosystem, providing food and homes to many different insects and birds.
There we have today’s selection for your enjoyment, more will be coming on Monday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and God bless!

Daily Pics #32.
Happy Friday everyone! It’s not so cold here this morning and there is some light snow falling. It does look nice as those snowflakes fall lazily to the ground. Getting out the shovel to get rid of that snow is not quite so nice.😂Muffin is at her window watching the snow and dreaming of summer. Her human is also dreaming of summer so he can get out and walk down that forest path again. And other such paths in this town. Meanwhile he must concentrate on his recovery which is moving along well and hopefully by mid February things might be back to normal once again. So, back to some nice bright and cheery pics for today…
Starting off with some nice white astilbe, with some pink astilbe just starting in front of it
And here we have a nice bright red poppy on a warm, sunny, summer day. I did use this poppy once before but not on my daily pics. I will have to change to a different subject soon as I am running out of flower pics to show, that is, different kinds of flowers. I do have the same flowers at different angles and I might show some of them too. Starting Monday we will have something different to look at for a while. Unless you would like me to continue with flowers, then just let me know in the comments.
That’s all for now, I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday, God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
