Day 201

This morning, the sunlight was glistening through the trees beside the living room window and casting shadows. My windows are coated with pollen, so the light refracts in the patterns the rain has pushed the pollen in.

Day 183 - Half Way Point

I'm at my half way point in the project. Today, I waited till night fall to take photos.

Day 166

Today, I took more photos along the main path

This is a bloom from a tulip tree. If you count the ants carefully, you will count 5. I took this photo upside down, so the amount of ants is a total surprise to me.

This is pollen

These are new flowers that someone just bought.

The Japanese maple has been nibbled.

Green leaves. These are from the purple shoots.

Day 163

Today's photos are by the stairs and path to our house.

This ant and inchworm where co-existing and occasionally swatting at each other.

This is a strand of oak tree pollen, which is actually tiny flowers.

Inchworm on a twig, with more oak tree pollen.

The rhododendron buds started opening.

On the railing of the steps, were lots of little creatures. 

There were several tiny green insects moving swiftly.

There were about 6 inchworms inching along the rail. I took photos of a few of them.

These were going in opposite direction. When they inched into each other, they had a bit of a fight. I love how the ant is looking at them, as if it's a wrestling match and it's a referee.

Day 155

I'm overly fascinated with the different varieties of azaleas in our neighborhood. If you all get bored of them, I don't blame you. Today's azaleas all have pink spots on the different shades of flowers. If you look closely at most of the flowers, you will see pollen dust from the bees.

Day 147

Today, I took photos while Alex and the neighbor girl played and learned about different nature things.

The blooms on the white Dogwood tree finally opened fully.

These white flowers are high up on this tree.

The red Tulip by the bus stop, opened up. I love the contrast of the colors inside.

The girls and I were impressed with this ant carrying a flower bud.

These are two huge black bees flying high up. The ripples are due to this photo being taken through my 40 year old vaulted living room window.
