Uploaded on Jul 23, 2008 Singing to the MoonHere's your photo, George - not the greatest, but as you know, the tree was pretty far away - and as for the moon, LOL ..... Yes, these are Cedar Waxwings, Rebecca. Taken at the Erlton/Roxborough Natural Area (not all that far from downtown) this morning.

I haven't started a Google search yet for the ID of this new beetle that a fellow botanizer pointed out to me this morning. It was SO tiny - but how beautiful when seen zoomed and cropped! Thanks so much, George, for this new beetle - I love it!
Uploaded on Jul 23, 2008 Why is beauty not always good?These huge seedheads of the Goat's-beard plant are so spectacular and beautiful, especially when the sun shines on them. The depressing thing, though, is that Goat's-beard is a highly invasive plant and has taken over in all our natural areas, choking out our native plants. Sadly, pulling these weeds doesn't seem to make much, if any, difference.
