Feathers, Flowers (or shrubs), and Fungi

Yesterday I shared images of a whitetail buck and doe playing out the rut effort. Both ran back and forth and I was able to shoot some pictures. Before the deer drama I had photographed birds, flowers or shrubs, and fungi. The same happened today while I was canoeing. I am going to combine the remainder of yesterday’s photos with today’s images. I was fortunate to see quite a bit of our outdoor world.

By the way, most of the plants are introduced or invasive. They may be pretty, but they are not native.
