Milk Weed, from bud to flower, posing nicely in the evening sunlight.
Everywhere we look on our daily walk milk weed is springing forth. Most plants have buds just waiting to burst into flower while a few have started their blooms. We all know milkweed is an important flower for the Monarch Butterfly but given its abundance it helps sustain many pollinators both large and small.
Summer is truly upon us…on your mark, get set….go.

In what feels to be the blink of an eye spring has changed to summer. Green grass, hot afternoons and a forest that is just a bit quieter once the sun gets to work. A familiar spot that has gone from spring https://naturehasnoboss.com/2017/04/12/april/ to summer in the blink of an eye. A little reminder to enjoy each season before it is has slipped away.

A Small bird in a changing big world…amazing we still have birds left at all.
A male Lark Sparrow pokes about in the short desert grasses of Western Colorado. A unique sparrow and thankfully one that is easy to identify correctly. If you have any good tips or a process you follow to identify sparrows they would sure be welcome.
You kids get off my lawn. Happy Sunday to all.
