A week earlier, Cheyenne experienced a wind storm that lasted more than 24 hours. Winds statistics at the airport (on the 7th):
High---> Average
Wind Speed----> 53.0 mph------> 27.4 mph
Wind Gust-------> 67.0 mph------> 45.1 mph
One of the effects with all that wind was the piles of tumble weed created. My Border Collie Cody poses for comparison.

For some reason my computer will not allow me to upload a new picture, so I am going to use this one! I love many of the plants that we label as "weeds" and many of their seeds are very beautiful. This is one example.
This shot is one in a series about engraving stones and tiles using a sandblaster.

Joe-Pye Weed
Eupatorium purpureum, or Joe-pye weed as most people know it, is far from an unwanted weed to me. This attractive plant produces pale pink-purple flowers that last from mid-summer through fall. It’s a great addition to nearly any garden and a must have for wildlife lovers, attracting a multitude of butterflies with its sweet nectar. Growing Joe-pye weed flowers is a wonderful way to bring a little bit of nature to your backyard. What are Joe-Pye Weed Flowers? Joe-pye weed flowers were named after a New England man that used the plant medicinally for helping people with typhus fever. In addition to its medicinal properties, both the flowers and seeds have been used in producing pink or red dye for textiles. In their native environment, these plants can be found in thickets and woodlands throughout the eastern half of North America. The plants are hardy from USDA Zones 4-9. They reach heights of anywhere between 3 and 12 feet, offering great focal interest when using Joe-pye weeds in the garden. In addition, the flowers have a light vanilla fragrance that becomes more intense when crushed.

Weed flower with tiny feathers and little insects Crawling. The macroverse is just mind blowing. What's your thought on this?
This is what yesterday's leaf-cutter bee was among on June 15. This shot was taken late afternoon on a cloudy May 22. Some of my butterfly weed, including some yellow, has self-seeded in the side garden area, which is delightful. Most of it is done blooming now, but it was a beautiful show this year. Sadly, they attracted few butterflies. This season so far I have had only one Spring azure, several Summer azures, one Eastern tiger swallowtail, one ragged Horace's duskywing, a few Fiery skippers, a few Silver-spotted skippers, and one Cabbage white.

IC 6252 leads the CN Weed Sprayer train eastbound back on home rails through Hillside, IL en route to Hawthorne Yard, where they would tie down for the night. 6252 is one of very few remaining SD40-2's in former Illinois Central colors, which previously resided in the Iron Range of Minnesota before being spread throughout CN's system.

The Butterfly Weed is a native plant to southern Ontario, now we just have to wait for the butterflies to come.
One-day bother.
A weed?
I wonder.

This is a beautiful weed growing in a well tended bed of coleus in our neighborhood. I visit it every day on my walk and take a ton of photos as I am sure the gardeners will pull it up soon.
I also know it as gout weed and when I checked online another name is ground elder. But whatever it's name it's also called the most hated flower. Yeah! It quickly took over my garden, spread to the yard and is totaly out of control. But it's so pretty!
A weed spraying train with a former IC GP sits tied down on the south end of the siding on the Holly sub just outside of Durand. The train had spent a couple weeks in Michigan spraying the lines and I was finally able to shoot it.
Different day, different location, different wasp.
Everyone should have Butterfly Weed in the garden. This variety, Tropical Milkweed, is not sold in local garden shops for some reason, but grows here very well.
And attracts so very many visitors.
To show how big the bud was, I decided to set a lighter next to it (part of it broke off in process of moving). The bud weighed a whole 7.1 grams.
Whilst at Rutland Water last weekend watching the ospreys I finally saw the grebes do their weed dance. It was brilliant! Shame it was overcast at the time but you can't have everything.
Up jumped a spire,
Of promiscuous nature.
Ugly beauty.
