Here are a few things I saw this week
during a Second Look.
 |
| Day lily |
 |
| Gouty oak gall. This was caused by a small wasp and may be a couple of years old. Apparently these balls contain resin and tannic acid and have been used for medicine and other things over the years. |
 |
| Bee on marigold |
 |
Unlike the bee above that was flitting from flower to flower, this one crawled in and out of the center of the marigold several times.
|
 |
| Fungus |
 |
| The Japanese Beetles are out now. So far they aren't too bad. |
 |
| The frequent thunderstorms are bringing down lots of limbs. |
 |
| Trumpet lily with lamium and Japanese painted fern |
 |
| Since last week, the wren has lined its nest with feathers and filled it with four eggs. |
 |
| I think this wren is associated with the above nest. |
 |
| The bluebird has added one more egg since last week. |
