Neighborhood Walk
School has started and my son's first year of high school seems to be going well so far. I'm hoping I'll accomplish a bit more in my garden now that I have a little more free time.
I've tried to walk everyday this past week and take some photos along the way. Here are a few plants and animals that caught my eye...
Yellow trumpet flower, (Tecoma stans).
A water-worn limestone accent.
A cicada's cast skin on a crape myrtle.
An avenue of cypress trees.
This is either a leaf-footed bug or a wheel bug.
Three different vines soften a fence.
There is a field full of this little purple wildflower near my house. If you know what it is, please let me know. The flower reminds me of a Verbena of some sort.
These tangled live oak roots remind me of the legs of an Ent.
Thanks to Annie in Austin for kindly letting me know that these flowers are Physostegia virginiana or Obedient Plant. Annie, as always your plant knowledge is impressive!
