A casual walk around the garden this morning, enjoying the damp quiet, no real goal.
Here's what I found, what caught my eye.

| Red-whisker clammyweed... |
 |
| ...produce loads of seed. Love this plant! |
 |
| Speaking of seeds... feverfew! |
 |
| I love finding the mantis babies I released! |
 |
| The underside of a maple leaf, a couple of feet over my head |
 |
| My neighbor's oak is covered in galls, every single leaf... |
 |
...and also these large, spiky galls on the stems.
What's going on here? |
I hope you're finding interesting things in your gardens!

Really, really, really like this post. Wonderful images, wonderful atmosphere.
Lovely pictures.
I have no idea what those read bugs are.
I love the dew. I want some of that :-).
"Red-whisker clammyweed" makes me smile. The next time I walk into a nursery, I'll ask them if they carry it just so I can say the name.
Thanks Lucy!
Maywyn: Assasin bug nymphs maybe?
Gerhard: I'd worry if "Red-whisker clammyweed" didn't make you smile! Native annual, at least in the eastern part of the country. I'll save some seeds for you -- heck, I'll bring some to Portland!
Absolutely stunning photos...Love the photo where you captured a praying mantis.
