It’s Albatrossity Monday, JanieM takes us around her neighborhood, and UncleEb, TKH and Elma all continue with the series they started last week!
I don’t know what you guys have all been thinking about these last few weeks :-) but this would be a good time to submit that OTR post you have been considering putting together.
Albatrossity
Fall is here, no more chasing needed. So this is the last of this series, and we’ll see what comes next. I hope journey has been enjoyable for you all! And if you need a bird calendar to go with your Pets of Balloon Juice calendar, here are some options for 2023. Birds of Flyover Country and the strangely popular Bird Butts calendar.
Not a bird, but a lovely native orchid, Great Plains Ladies’-Tresses (Spiranthes magnicamporum). It was blooming alongside a road in Pottawatomie County; usually you have to wander through a lot of native pastures to see this one. I actually got down far enough to sniff it, since I remembered that it was supposed to smell pretty good. And it does! Reminiscent of a good Sauternes, honey-scented, with pipe tobacco overtones.
