The Good: Although long considered a nuisance, milkweed has turned out to be an important plant because it plays an important role in the lives of butterflies. It's a tall plant so gardeners usually grow it at the back of a natural-looking garden. The Random: Below we have a typical West Virginia scene. If you like farm scenes like this, check out The Barn Collective.
The Fun: This boat launch area on the New River offers pretty views. Unfortunately for my picture, no boaters or fishermen were in sight, probably because the weather forecast said that a storm was on the way. It was, but it didn't reach us until dinner time.
Beautiful scenery! I love the butterfly.
ReplyDeletePretty shot of the milkweed and butterfly. I love the views of the river, very pretty scenes. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI don't pull up milkweed in my yard like I used to. Happy to have it for the butterflies where ever it wants to turn up.
ReplyDeleteYour typical West Virginian scenery is pretty special Linda. Thank goodness they realised the milkweed importance to butterflies before it was too late!

ReplyDeleteLovely scenery shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! We went canoeing recently and got caught in a storm the last few minutes of our trip. We were paddling like crazy trying to beat it!
ReplyDeleteLovely scenes! I really like that last photo.

ReplyDeleteI came for the Barn Collective, but really enjoyed it all...and I have not even clicked to expand yet...hoping they do expand.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. Milkweed's critical for butterflies, so the more that's around, the better.
