Turn three

 

Roaring by

Close together and in a bunch, this pack of lawn tractors rounding turn three makes for an exciting afternoon of racing.

 

Four Jersey

 

JABOJ

Nothing to see here - just a bunch of Jerseys, looking back at you.

These four Jersey cows are as interested in the viewer as the viewer was interested in seeing them.  The two on the left are wearing the black masks; the other two are dressed in the more usual Jersey reddish-brown.

 

 

Floral fecundity

 

In full bloom

 

The wild tulip - Tulipa sylvestris - has a very faint fragrance:  sweet, slightly vanilla, slightly banana.

 

Pollinated

 

The stamen consists of the anther that has the pollen and the filament that supports the anther.  The pistil consists of the stigma, which catches the pollen, the style that holds up the stigma, and the ovary that produces the seeds.

 

Wild tulip

 

After a rain

This wild tulip - Tulipa sylvestris - appeared several years ago in an untended part of the garden. How it got there, when, who - is all a mystery, but the  bloom of the woodland tulip is looked for each spring.

Looking back

Eye fun

When leaving, a look back to see what you are leaving looks like leaves you with an impression of where you were.
