Painted Daisies

Happy #wednesdaywalk hosted by tattoodjay@tattoodjay everybody's favorite community! First some flowers to put a little beauty in your day.

Red/Yellow Daisy with bee

I passed this lovely bed of painted daisies at the start of my walk. They were literally buzzing with bees 馃悵

White/Yellow Daisy

The variety of colors was amazing!

Yellow

Some have patterns, mostly colored bands or circles.

Tri-color Daisy

Some have three colors, most only two.

Rudbeckia

Next on my stroll was a bed of Rudbeckia. Rudbeckia are commonly called Black Eyed Susans but can be different colors.

Red Rudbeckia

Here is a Red on Red Rudbeckia.

Yellow Red Rudbeckia

Again the variety of color was stunning.

Bee on Rudbeckia

And again the bees were enjoying the flowers - perhaps even more than me if thats possible 馃槉

Green

I walked my normal route down to the lake. It is a gorgeous day. So green with a perfect blue sky. We got a little rain last night which perked everything up.

Lake Dunmore

Lake Dunmore is always beautiful to visit but today was near perfect with the blue skies. Still cool this morning in the 60F's 馃檪. Its going to get up to mid 80F's and be sunny all day. Vermont in the summertime at its best.

Wild Raspberry blossoms

As promised in the title, I also did a little foraging today.

Wild Rasperries

I call these wild raspberries. I think they are officially purple flowering raspberries (Rubus odoratus) according to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus_odoratus

Raspberries

The berries are very similar in taste and appearance to other raspberries.

Raspberries with chocolate brownie

Like all raspberries, they are yummy with chocolate 馃構 - homemade chocolate brownies in this case.

Mushrooms

I also lucked into some mushrooms. A couple of chantrelles and some black trumpets (also known as black chantrelles). Not a lot but enough for a nice late morning omelette.

I'm obviously back to the house at this point so that's the end of my #wednesdaywalk. Hope you enjoyed my post. Have a great day and get outside 馃尰鈽笍
