What the cottontails eat

The lawnmower misses most of the clover that's mixed in with the bermuda and other grasses and wildflowers that populate the front and back yards on my street.

From Dierk Haasis: more lovely spring photos

In his Picasa gallery Frühjahr, Dierk Haasis has not only given us pictures of the marsh frogs near Hamburg to enjoy. He has now added some excellent photos of herons, a delightful squirrel, a foraging bumblebee, trees in bloom, and wildflowers, including a field of veronica (sometimes called speedwell). Go watch the slide show and savor spring in northern Germany.

Don't miss these!

Photographs by Dierk Haasis of the frogs that live in the marshes near Hamburg, Germany. During some warm days of early April these males congregated, all of them having turned bright blue for their short mating season. Read his interesting account of them and see the pictures here.
