On the last day of May, 2020, nature serves up some little beauty bits.
Of course she does so every day. I just don't always take time to appreciate.
Here are a boy and girl Pronghorn. Note the dark jaw patch on the male, as well as his stature and conformation in comparison to the female.
Check out the ants on the western wallflower.
Yesterday after counting cows...
Stemless hymenoxys (Tetraneuris acaulis) in a distribution and location I haven't seen before. This is a sign of actual climate variability -- the stuff that happens when the climate shifts around within it's natural and homeostatic bounds. You don't see this stuff when it's dry and hot, but you do when it's wet and cool.
A little look around...
And a little cow walk...
Western wallflowers, bumble bee, antz.
Wish I had more time to write and comment, but I don't. Hope you enjoyed the sights and sounds of the prairie in late May.
Be well and embrace the blessings of liberty.
It's nice to see some kind of normality.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.
Nice part of my life is I can ignore crazy most of the time!

I appreciate your use of "Pronghorn". The only native North American antelope is the Rocky Mountain goat.
ReplyDeleteIIRC pronghorn are much more giraffe than antelope. Doesn't stop most of us from calling them antelope though. ;-)

Good stuff Shaun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarge. And thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteVery refreshing to see some normalcy, Shaun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the relief!
You're very welcome drjim. Perhaps it's a little service I can do for people. Out here there's only reality and the virtual stuff from the television and interwebs doesn't ever show up.
