Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Walkabout with a Leica T camera and 18-56 mm zoom lens. Rhododendron flowers, wildflower daisies flowers, and poppies buds about to open. My most hated weed — the “Mile-a-Minute” vine. The vine is not native, and was probably brought in by the deer. It gets its name from how fast it grows. In the last few years it has killed and destroyed many of my trees. I am trying to find wildflowers that grow faster and will keep the vine from further expansion. Also, some insect appears to be nibbling on the leaves of the vine — just not fast enough.

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

My phone died last week, and won’t have internet access at home for a month. So I will upload images when I find WiFi hotspots that don’t block me for transferring too much data. This is a set of poppies from my wildflower patch before the deer and rabbits got hungry. I also have several time-lapsed videos of the poppies opening which I will post later. Individual images in the slide show can be viewed here.
