Ordinary Creatures
The little snail in the second picture is an ordinary fellow. It was slim pickings this week. I didn't even get any bird shots other than the great blue heron that I showed on Wednesday. (But he was a beauty!)
Here's a poster warning of an invasive insect that is new to our area: the spotted lanternfly.
Next we have an insect or two on a coneflower.
Our last two photos are of farm animals. The horse looks rather coy to me!
The cow is just doing what cows do: eating in a field. She looked up briefly when I pulled over to take a picture.

ReplyDeleteI hope you delete the post by a spammer. What a jerk!

Yes, I reported it as spam but that didn't delete it like it used to. So I came back later and deleted it. What a nuisance!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love the farm animals, the horse and cow are beautiful. The deer is a great capture, they are lovely critters. I have never heard of the Spotted Lanternfly. Beautiful shots. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day, I wish you a happy new week ahead. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteHello. The first photo is so beautiful. Lovely photos of horse and cow.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
I enjoy your photos no matter what the subject, but I am so glad you told me that was a snail!
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture of the deer. It seems that the horse was still sleeping :-))) Thanks for sharing pictures of your environs
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning the Deer, and the horse is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe deer is gorgeous and the snail, well it's a snail but cute. :) Nice captures, Linda and have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThe deer is very pretty. And I'm afraid we have that bug here...or something that looks like it. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThe horse looks sleepy to me, but maybe that’s because I am! Oh joy, another invasive species to watch out for! Cheez... could we have any more problems ! (That bug is probably in Florida too. By now, everything seems to thrive there!
ReplyDeleteThe farm animals do make good company.
