An evening walk from Shelburne to Buckland along, you guessed it, the Bridge of Flowers:
Man, these folks put a ton of forethought into this local gem, as well as plenty of good ol’ elbow grease.
A Crocosmia, common name “Lucifer:”
An Eryngium, or Sea Holly, cultivar “Blue Saphire:”
…very cool plant, a favorite of the Bridge’s bees:
I put my camera away at least three times, only to take it out again as the light changed:
Looks like the lawn ain’t gettin’ mowed tonight.
Bummer.

I know, “guy” is kinda anthropormorphic, and sexist to boot.
So sue me, it just fell out.
But style he/she/it had, from it’s balls-out approach pattern (“all in!”)
Gotta love that “Geronimo!” attitude!
…to its totally competent contact with a moving object (it was windy):
To this full-tilt re-do, ’cause apparently a nice placid crash landing didn’t use up enough Agro-Juice™ to sate this little critter:
Gawd I’m glad we’re not that size, ’cause that thing might lunch on me!
