I went out to the field this morning.
Today the jerk that owns it mowed all the flowers down. The insects and birds and rabbits that thrived in this field will leave or die. This beautiful place is a boring, flat, ugly mowed field.

More of the wildlife int he field - Japanese beetle and these little tiny flies that are everywhere, but not annoying. They don't bite or sting. They hover for a split second, then dart off. I was just lucky to get this one.

Another common field resident. Almost all the milkweeds have several of these bright beetles. When you disturb them, they just let go and drop down into the weeds below, a surprisingly effective escape.
I looked for monarch eggs, but didn't see any. I don't know what they look likek anyway.

I've become fascinated with tthe webs in the morning dew. These latest were taken in the field next to my house. I was out there in the morning in my pajamas, soaking wet with chilly dew, taking shots.
