Unexpected poppy
Another unexpected poppy
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Some Linaria
Not a fish soup
Cocoon and poplar leaf
Green bottle fly in the thistledown
Lesson learnt. Maybe.
Another accidental Linaria
Above us, only sky
At the Peace Garden
All the potatoes
House guest
Full moon over pigeon spikes and roof
Mars presiding
The view from my desk
Shrooms by my door
Moon at Noon reimagined
Volunteer
My end of Town
Flea beetle, I think
Water glass
Mighta bin. Coulda bin.
Wondering just why the cat door to the basement is…

Waxing crescent
Industrial yellowjacket
Gone to seed
Some bee in the fireweed
Shaky but pretty
Cabbage white eating hawkweed
Two for joy
Not all family shots are scowleries
One-sided wintergreen
I have forgotten this cove's name
Learning the ropes
Next to my head
Same stack, different view
Stacks
Shag Rocks
Blue bells
The view from my bathroom window a few minutes ago

Water-doctor dancing
You can't see the water-doctor very well, but you can see his dance, dancing up circles in the water. He kept dong this over and over. I couldn't hear the music he was dancing to.
You *probably* don't call them water-doctors since they have a lot of other names, but that's what my father called them nearly sixty-five years ago when he showed them to me. And that's the most common name in these parts.
I don't know if this particular species of Gerridae has wings; they certainly don't need them when crossing still water. Some people apparently call them Jesus bugs because they walk on water. I don't know any of those people.
