1. A wonderful photo~ definitely the good life 🙂 Do you know what plant that is? It looks like a Ranunculus that grows here in water in woodlands, and is yellow. This appears to be in full sun and is white, but otherwise looks the same. Neat!

   2. Hi Melissa, I do not know the name but a reader in the comments below has provided their thought below. Need to get up to speed on the plants and should carry an ID book in addition to the one I carry for birds. Hope your day is going well.

   1. Thanks Lucy, at first we were admiring this nice patch of flower and we treated when the phalarope flew into the pond. Hope you have a great weekend.
