Flowers #126

A wild flower that was growing along the road side near my home. I have seen red ones and yellow ones in the pasted. I know its a weed but I'll wait for New Hampshire Gardens Solutions to identify this flowering weed for me. They have been very helpful in the past with leaving comments on my site from time to time. Many thanks, MT.

Insects #17, finding the little things

A Lady Bug I found in the back yard a couple weeks ago. I spend a large amount of my time when I'm going out  to find and take pictures of birds and the passing butterflies.  Occasionally I do look down and find some of natures little gems like this Lady Bug and other insects. This picture came out good enough that I wanted to share it with you all today. This post is also a note to myself  to look down more often and find other neat little creatures and things that might be around me to share with you all from my area. Hope you enjoy, MT.
