Wild Flowers

It's a lovely morning.
A perfect summer day.
Begins in the 50s, and will go to the mid 80s with low humidity.
While taking Tommy for a walk, D noticed how beautiful the timothy is this year.
Have you ever looked at it up close? The purple is beautiful. The flower heads are huge this year.
Another wonderful year for mallows.
This one is touched by dew and a bug.
This is such a lovely flower.
Can you guess what it is?
It's milkweed!!!

And this is especially happy this year.
We call it wild parsnip.
No idea if that's right.
Bugs love it.
It's related to hogweed, a dangerous weed, so be careful.
