Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

Look what we found.  Raspberries!
Mom offered me one kind of knowing that I'd eat it~
Of course, I ate it!
We found another beautiful Butterfly Bush in bloom.  The lavender is so pretty!
We discovered a pinkish-white Balloon Flower blooming away~
We found Queen Anne's Lace~
Mom had to look this one up.   They say it's a Button Bush~
We looked this one up too.   It's a Lily of the Nile.  It sure is pretty!
Happy Friday, everyone!
Love ya lots♥
Duke

    Our mom loves raspberries but she never shares them with us because she wants them all. Pretty flowers too, they all die off this time of year around here with the heat but they will bloom again soon.

    What a lovely variety... and isn't it strange? I have known Agapanthus all my days, but in two posts for NF I find it referred to as Nile Lily, a name I'd never heard until today! Either way, it's very pretty. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

    Raspberries are delicious! We occasionally get yellow ones too! Our fields are covered in Queen Anne's Lace at the moment!

    I am pawsitive your fresh raspberry was much better than mine ~ though the raspberry filled croissant I just had for breakfast was melt in my mouth good ... wishing you and Mommy a lovely weekend.

    Java Bean: "Ayyy, we don't have raspberries here I don't think, but Mama did plant a couple of blackberries in pots! They were pretty tasty! Most of them ended up on top of cereal instead of in our mouths, though ..."

    oh nooooo you ate the raspberry! I love raspberries and I'd hate to have to compete with spaniel's nose to find them first🫢 Fab flowers Duke - but you are the best photo.

    I would have eaten the raspberry, too. Looks juicy and delicious. That Button Bush is beautiful, as are all the flowers.
