Random Thoughts on My Urban Meadow


Our backyard had not been mowed for six months.  As a result, an urban meadow sprouted.  Some people use the term weed in a negative way, but to me, weeds are beautiful.

The falling maple seeds look like butterflies or UFOs.

A sparrow chomping on a plump green caterpillar.  That caterpillar will not turn into a butterfly this summer, but it will help to create a baby bird.

Two wild bunnies binking with each other; jumping, playing, flipping.  It looked like so much fun.  Then they snacked on clovers and groomed themselves.  Very sweet bunny love.

Alas, my urban meadow has been mowed...so sad.
