Gleaning Facebook: A June Walk at Arrowhead

 

A Sweetgum tree fell across our gravel road near the beaver pond, so a took the opportunity to snap some pics of the immature fruit.

Don't know which black-eyed suzie-Q this is, but she's lovely.

probably Rudbeckia hirta, the other species here (such as R. fulgida) bloom later in the summer.


The Red Buckeye trees are beginning to bear fruit.


More Sweetgum balls.

The Hophornbeams are beautiful right now with their unusual flowers blooming ... or maybe these have graduated to fruit? Ostrya virginiana (American hophornbeam) (Richard Ware tells me these are indeed the fruit of this tree.


The boardwalk from our new lakeside trail.

Some entomological porn on Queen Anne's Lace.

More Queen Anne's Lace.


Today we cleaned the absolutely yuckified tank of our three very aggressive, if diminutive, gators. I thought I'd expire from the olfactory assault.
