Here's another shot of that lovely liverwort from yesterday (previous post). I took this with my 200-500mm wildlife lens. Gonna try to get back to #ClearCreekTrail with the macro lens so I can get closer/better detail.
Popping in from hiatus to post this beauty. This is liverwort (Anemone hepatica) & it's one of my absolute favorites. I look for it in early #spring on #ClearCreekTrail. Usually find 1-2 plants but this yr found a whole patch.
In from hiatus just to post this pic of a native plant called prairie smoke (Geum triflorum) that just started producing blooms in my garden. B4 opening the flower turns upright. When one opens I'll post a pic.
Got lots of projects going on right now so I'm gonna say buh-bye to SM for a snidge.
See ya all in week or two. Play nice. Here's a black-capped to keep you company in my absence.
One of the best aspects of #photography is that you spend a lot of time noticing. Prior to photography, I never paid attention to overwintered plants like these seed pods (sweetgum?) from Friday. You miss a lot when you don't notice. Like the beauty of overwintered plants.

Chicago drawbridge.
This was taken on the Chicago Architecture Center's architectural boat tour of downtown Chicago. Well worth it if you visit Chicago and have the time.
Black-capped chickadees are in constant motion, flitting here/there & hopping around trees. Always have a tough time catching a good pic.
Except on spring days, like yesterday, when they're "distracted" & defending their territories from interlopers.
