Seen on my walk


Whirlybirds.  Helicopters. The Maple seeds are 
everywhere this year.   They are covering our patio 
and roof top, filling the gutters.


 The seed pods on the Redbud trees are plentiful, too.


I'm not sure what this tree is, but I think the limbs are interesting.


This webworm has pretty much taken over this young sapling.

My internet connection has been very sporadic where
I am the last couple of days.  If I haven't been to
your blog for a visit, that is why.  Have a great
weekend and thank you for visiting!

Until next time...

  2. I always break the web worms open and try to kill as many as possible.

    Those whirly birds will fill up your gutters. We had to get gutter gards on because of those things.

  17. The webworm does make an interesting photo, but it kind of freaks me out.
    The helicopters, seed pods, and tree are all interesting photos too.
    I finally posted the ABC award.

  18. I've heard of webworms, but have never seen one up close- sorta frightening! Storms coming in again tonight and tomorrow- spring is really on a rampage down here.

  19. I would hate to have to count the maple seeds from even a single tree this year...they are thick. And they are every where you look here, too.

    Oh, I don't want to forget to say I really do like that first image...love the sky peeking through.

  21. I have a Fan Tex tree in my backyard and it's very prolific too. They almost look like yours. I haven't been around the blogs and commenting myself. And I don't have a good reason like you. I think I'm just to restless right now to sit very long! If I've missed some of yours I apologize!
