Bushes, flowers, you know: The Usual Suspects.
Buttercups in a farm field in Hawley:
I like the tumultuous sky in this one.
An almost invisible flower on a small, woody shrub along route 2:
As is so often the case, I’d stopped to photograph something else (which didn’t work out) when I saw this tiny fleck of color.
Sorry, I’ve no idea what it is.
Here’s a close-up of the flower spikes of sheep sorrel, Rumex acetosella, which en mass lends a shin-high red hue to our unmowed fields:
These little buds are about a millimeter across; I always thought they were tiny seeds, until I got Ziggy, my 50mm Sigma macro lens.

I wish! 😉
On a darker note, here are some yellow pond lilies, a.k.a. bullhead lilies, specifically Naphir variegata:
I found these in a pond in Plainfield.
And that’s all for now.
