Some rather unkindly call it a weed. Not I. Spotted during a party in our new Superdome tent in the garden. Hope to catch the one currently in bud later and do a studio job on it. This is a weed also. Henbit. If the lawn isn’t treated for weeds, it can take over a lawn. It looks pretty when it’s in bloom, making a carpet of purple, but chokes out the grass and allows other weeds to take over. Edited September 29, 2020 by Betty LaRue Link to post Share on other sites

However it does not work in Safari, I have to change over to Firefox to do that. Link to post Share on other sites

Allan What's even worse is because firefox ignores colour profiles suddenly every image looks like its on acid. Anyway, here's my contrib. This beautiful pen resides on a lake near me. It has not been an easy year for her - she had 7 or 8 cygnets at the beginning but only three survived with her on the lake. Several succumbed to an illness of some sort and one recovered but was raised in captivity. Then her cob was found dead about a month ago. The juveniles are now fully grown and independent from her. To make matters worse a courting pair landed on the lake last week and although it looks like they're co-operating they may try and shoo her and the juveniles off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Betty LaRue 4,003 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Nice shot. Fun to get herons in action. They strike so blazing fast though, it’s only luck if you get the part of the action you want. I was always trying to get the splash as the head went in the water. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
