Once upon a time somewhere along the Pecatonica Prairie Trail in the midwestern US, because #fairieslivehere #ethereal #nature #bikepath #love #moment #breathe #sumac #milkweed #prairietrail #fall #joy

Brilliant fall vegetation alongside a prairie bicycle path including red sumac leaves and milkweed pods, burst open and releasing their fluffy, fairy-like seeds into the autumn air.

Once upon a time in the midwest #bikeride #countryroad #cemetery #graveyard #bluesky #peaceful #love

A seldom used dirt road cuts through a country cemetery toward the horizon, blue sky and clouds overhead.

Long ago and far away ~ Pecatonica Prairie Trail #bikepath #trail #midwest #prairie #fall #love

Double track path alongside power lines through prairie lands flanked on either side by trees beneath a cloudy sky in the fall.

Currently swooning over Gray-Headed Coneflower Ratibida pinnata #wildflowers #swoon #love #coneflower #flower #garden #nativeplants

Two cone flowers with graceful yellow petals bloom on stems that curve towards the earth before gently arching upward against a background of green vegetation.

As seen on today’s bicycle meanderings: #scape #neighborhood #bicycling #love

A small garage at the end of a cement driveway as seen from the street is painted white with turquoise trim with four rows of four rectangles on the door, each painted a different bright color, surrounded by a green lawn and green trees and shrubs.

I often pause here on my bike ride to spend a moment with this creekside willow. Love. #ColorADay #GreenSat #Love #Moment #Forest #Creekside #BlueSkyArtShow

Good morning, BlueSky friends! A strange bit of paper is attached to a Gray-Headed Coneflower (Ratibida pinnata) in the backyard this morning. At first it pretended to be a butterfly 🦋 🍒 #UrbanGaze #Wildflower #BloomScrolling #flower #garden #laughter #playful #love

A gray-headed coneflower, not yet blooming, has a very small piece of paper attached to their stem. The paper resembles a small butterfly, has ragged edges, is mostly white with a touch of ombré salmon color at one end ons an upside down cherry over the black letters’e’ and ‘r’ at the other end.

Bad photo, sorry. Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) growing from a crack between the sidewalk and my front stoop. Last year I had snapdragons in a hanging basket. Made me feel a little akin to one of my favorite accounts: Concrete Botany @concretebotany.bsky.social #BloomScrolling #Snapdragon #love

Last flower post for the day? Hmmm. I wouldn’t count on it.😂 Anyway, hear’s the first Echinacea to open in the yard this year:) #BloomScrolling #flower #echinacea #garden #love

An echinacea blooms in a tangled sea of green dotted with a few golden black-eyed-Susans in the background.

The scent of these lilies is intoxicating. Heady, sweet. The petals are starting to fall, and with the heat coming, I ‘spect they might be at their peak today. What a show! #OrangeSun #Stunday #BloomScrolling #garden #flower #love

Good Morning, BlueSky Friends! It’s the last soft day before the heatwave and we’re enjoying this precious morning. Sending love:) 🌻🐸🕊️🌸🌷🌿🍃 #bloomscrolling #stunday #love #goodmorning
