Springwatch: May 11

Continuing with the review of spring, in May the roadside wildflowers really started to get in gear, showy evening primrose in particular...

By this time in May I had also observed a lot of honeysuckle, the first lance-leaved coreopsis, ladybugs, a hummingbird, and the cottonwood fluff flying like very soft shooting stars across a field of dark green.
