June nature journal

There is so much to see on a walk in June,

here are a few of my pictures and notes...

robin's nest

::robins rarely use the same nest for two consecutive broods::

wild roses along the hedgerow {unknown}

::I gathered their beautiful red rose hips last winter for decorating::

birdsfoot trefoil {Lotus corniculatus L.}

::A remnant from our hayfield::

common daisy {Chrysanthemum leucanthemum}

::Also called the Ox-eye or Field Daisy::

black-eyed susan {Rudbeckia serotina}

::Named after Linnaeus' old professor, Olaf Rudbeck::

purple milkweed {Asclepia purpurascens}

::Much favored by butterflies, hence the name Butterfly-weed::

It's always sad to see June go.
