Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

There will be two sets images for today. The first group will be some very small wildflowers, a grass seed head, and thistle flowers. My eyes are healing after cataract surgery, and I am getting better and used to being out in the sun (with wrap-around sunglasses).
