Early morning

I was in the meadow this morning when the dew was still heavy on the leaves of the grasses.

There were honey bees nectaring on the grasses, but this was the only photo that turned out.  So I decided to return later with another camera.

When I returned there were no honey bees only these blue dasher dragonflies perched on the top tips of the grasses.  Do the honey bees vanish when the sun warms up the dragonflies?

Blue vervain is blooming in the wetland.

Many garden coreopsis are blooming there also.

A second river birch has been planted.  I hope it gets plenty of water during this hot weather.

A prairie rose seen on Perimeter Road.

And the very tiniest bunny on Shady Ramble.
