Title: Things ya see while mowing the lawn
Post by: gjtoth on May 27, 2010, 02:25:34 PM
I'm sure I'm not the only guy that takes his camera while mowing the lawn, right?  RIGHT?!

This is not a dandelion gone to seed.  It's about 5X bigger and there's no yellow flower.  I spotted it out in the field.  From the Panny!

This crappy picture is what it looks like before it opens up.

That's a strange looking one for sure, Gary.   ;)

I have them.  I forget the name but they do earlier (at least here) have a yellow flower but not as large as a dandelion and many on a stem and then the seeds look like dandys.

Love your closeups.  That's wonderful to see.

Your pictures are beautiful.  I wonder what that plant actually is?  You
have done a great job in capturing the seed pods, #3 they almost look like little lace cups!

I see a ton of snakes when I mow my neighbor's yard. It's hard to avoid hitting them, but so far I've been able to swerve out of the way. Makes for some interesting patterns in the lawn. :D

Snakes I won't swerve for, now frogs and toads I stop and move.

Don't think I could bring myself to run a snake over.
