spreading dogbane

Taking our usual morning walk around the town. Mourning doves sitting on telephone wires. Goldfinches, a vision in bright yellow blasting around. Wildflowers of summer along the road.

Musk Mallow

Ox-eye Daisy

Saw one small patch of one I hadn't seen in awhile. It's called Spreading Dogbane.


I saw this when I was out. The flowers are small, but they are beautiful. When we were out today, it seemed to be everywhere.


This often happens when looking at the natural world. You can be blind to something for a long time and then you see it. Then the same phenomenon seems to be everywhere. Of course the alternative explanation is that they just started blossoming recently.
