I
was able to make only two visits to the park this period. Burdock
is in full leaf, which is to say, exhibits prominently veined

At least temporarily, I
rescued (if that's the word) the larva at 392.6 from the ants that were

A beautiful soft green
plant, the Sensitive Fern is
so called because it's among the first to wilt at an early frost.
