Been home bound by garden chores but decided to go for a walk yesterday. I went to try something I've wanted to try for a while: catch some purple martins in flight at a martin condo up the street. While martins can turn on a dime their flight patterns back to the condo are similar. All it takes is patience & some luck.

They seemed fine w/ me there so next time I'll try to get closer. More pics to follow.

This is wild hyacinth or Camassia scilloides (according to the vender). It's an eastern US native. Planted it last fall & was excited to see it this spring. Must've assumed it was the size of a typical garden hyacinth cause I wasn't expecting it to get so large in the 1st yr. Love the subtle purplish grey petals combined w/ the bright yellow anthers. Going to have to grab more of these 👍.

Closeup photograph of a wild hyacinth (Camassia scilloides) inflorescence with flowers extending outward from a vertical central stem with out of focus greens and browns in the background. Wild hyacinths have white flowers with a subtle purplish grey tint. Each flower has five pointed petals arranged in a star pattern that radiate from a center with five white stamens with bright yellow anthers and a bright yellow-green pistil with a white stigma.

Been so busy w/ my garden that I haven't had much time to take pics. When I'm that busy I often go back through my catalog & re-edit old pics or edit old pics I never used.

This pic is from 2023. That year there were hundreds of bald eagles along my stretch of the Iowa River. I never edited this photo because the angle was "strange" (I was nearly directly below) & I had tons of eagle photos to choose from.

Went out to feed the birds this a.m. & saw something "mounted" to a back porch support beam. Closer inspection revealed it was a very large . My ID app suggests Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus) with an average wingspan of 6". It was just chilling during the a.m. storms. I hoped it would open up but it just stayed motionless. It was quite dark so the pics aren't the best. Antennae are very cool!

The moth has large, tear-drop shaped, brownw antennae and a large body and legs covered by long brown hairs. Its wings are patterned and scalloped with grey and brown and it has a large brown "eye" on its outer wing that is surrounded by a narrow circle of light tan.

My ID app wasn't able to ID this flowering tree's species but suggests it's likely Prunus genus. It has beautiful burgundy leaves that really set off the colors of the flower. The ones I see are very bush-like rather than small tree.

Any guesses?

A 250% crop of Lola, our King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taken in our front room in low light. No flash (I don't have one yet), just a juicy 8000 ISO.
