I’m fond of a young tree located beside the canal in a BLM that my dogs and I often visit. My phone app identifies it as an Arroyo Willow and describes it as an easy-care plant that’s resistant to nearly all pests and diseases. This year the willow is more noticeable, having grown to be as tall as me, and seems destined to become a significant component at the canal.
Of course, less lovely components also exist there. Here’s a stand of young cheatgrass.
Almost everyone dislikes cheatgrass and I’m not drawn to photograph it. However, these young cattail-like blooms had me seeing that their still-featherlike waving can illuminate a waterway.
On that subject, these are young, blooming clover.
And water, highlighting weeds and Forget-Me-Nots.
Uh, oh! He, too, enjoying the weeds galore.
Dear Friends: Make today a wonderful one. Diana
