Springfield MO It’s nice to see the busy bees 🐝 doing there thing. That freeze we had a while back didn’t do any favors for the little guys, but I’m sure things will spring up in a while.

Springfield MO For years we called this plant a Christmas cactus, but after looking up the segments as they are called it is a thanksgiving cactus as it’s commonly called. It started to bud at Christmas and bloomed all the way through January. These plants went a couple of years without blooming and decided to blom this year. Don’t know about other people bit these plants seem to boom around Christmas 🤷🏻‍♂️

Springfield MO Its not even March 1st, but these guys aren’t waiting. There smaller than the tip,of your pinky. Veronica polita, the grey field-speedwell supposedly it’s called. Those on the left anyway. Haven’t been able to post. The last part of 2025 was not good, lost my main income, went to the emergency room supposedly stopped breathing, lost a lot of blood🩸 I hope to post more in the future. 📸😎

Caught this monarch on an interesting looking item according to the Missouri Department of conservation it is Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) is a large multi stemmed shrub or small tree that typically grows in low areas, almost always around water. The shrubs form thickets that can be impenetrable. They are often planted as ornamentals in native landscaping and the fragrant blossoms are a favored nectar source for pollinators. The nutlets produced in the fall are eaten by many types of birds.

Some photographers have a thing about gas stations old and new 🤷🏻‍♂️ guess I’m one of those.

The old Jefferson Street footbridge was a great backdrop. Hope it’s back in service soon.
