June was a good month for plant observations, but maybe not the best moth for photos of those observations. I did snap a few good ones. We got to spend a lot of time out doors, in the yard, neighborhood and at the beach (going nearly twice as many days compared to last month). and we also got to see some different environments, like the Pine Barrens.
Beach grass and beach roses.
This massive field loved all the rain this month.
My porch roses before it got too hot and they all dried out.
The ivy on the back fence is going nuts.
Another beach rose. I can't get enough!
And lastly, my favorite pine behind our house. The white speck is a mocking bird that was sitting in the tippy top branch and performing a complicated ritual.
This month and this year, I can't help but notice how many mocking birds there are!! Growing up I feel like I never saw them, but now they are everywhere. Some people might consider them pests, but I think they are lovely!!
What nature have you been observing in your neck of the woods this month?
