Milk Weed




These are milk weed pods releasing their seeds to the wind. These are not the tufts of truffula trees. Milk weed grows wild in fence rows and fallow fields or along roads such as this. I walked along the Big Spring this morning and saw a few birds but they were way smarter than me, I didn't get pictures of most. The cardinals, the kingfisher, the heron and the woodpecker all avoided the zoom lens. A pleasant, but brisk, walk regardless.

I did a morning road trip also. I was looking for deer and found none but it was still a good trip. I ran into four muskrats along a small stream and managed to get many quality shots. First time I have ever watched muskrats, unless you count the rats at work.
