A real flower expert would have hyperventerlated at the sight of all the hundreds of plants out there...<br /> The knapweed , on closer look , seems akin to the cornflower.<br /><br />We do have thistles but they tend to like the shaded sedge and hedgerows.. <br /><br />The Yarnton Mead where i was, was an open and withering place in the sunshine, Only the wiriest plants made it out there..:)<br /><br />As for the legs... neon white they are...as we don't get enough contiuous sun to warrant getting them out long... and anyway i don't lie around at all..i'm up on them using them all the time. :)<br /><br />Sir D ( the rest of him is toasted tho ) of OxfordshireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515218627607939514.post-46388309168013044962009-06-15T12:20:43.155-05:002009-06-15T12:20:43.155-05:00Excellent post!

Great job on the long boat.<br /><br />I noticed quite a few thistles in your pictures, beautiful flowers for sure, but they can take over a field. In most states here in the west they are classified as noxious weeds, and if you don't take care of them, the government does, and sends you a bill. <br /><br />I see neon white legs are present in your area also, I am always embarrassed by mine in early summer. I maintain that if full frontal nudity is a felony, neon white legs should be a misdemeanor.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post.<br /><br />Sir Richard (with pasty white legs) of WindsorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515218627607939514.post-15493726678170168112009-06-15T09:46:16.608-05:002009-06-15T09:46:16.608-05:00Not Ticks... but there were some hefty cow flies w...Not Ticks... but there were some hefty cow flies which my insect repellant, that i'd put on, didn't deter, which took a couple of lumps out of me.. <br /><br /> i soon put that right, with my childhood knowledge helping me remember which plant i was to look for, who's leaves when i'd spat on them and rubbed them into my bare arms and neck seemed to do the trick, and i was no longer troubled.<br /><br />I imagine there are some ticks but these are found more where farm animal are, and generally on the animals.<br /><br />Its a jungle out there...lol... with lots of stingy, thorny, buggy things amongst the colorful beauty.<br /><br />Soon there will be rare orchids to go hunt in the same meadows.<br /><br />Sir D ( the survivalist ) of OxfordshireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515218627607939514.post-14807355854225127062009-06-15T09:15:47.933-05:002009-06-15T09:15:47.933-05:00Most excellent tour.
Question: Do you have ticks...Most excellent tour.<br /><br />Question: Do you have ticks over there (the little blood-sucking kind)?<br /><br />Ticks in this part of the country keep me from venturing off the beaten path.<br /><br />A great lesson in enjoying the moment to the fullest / creating happy moments, so that when we may later enjoy our memories and live the happy moments twice.<br /><br />Sir Bowie (who used to love climbing trees and romping in Wesselman's Woods) of GreenbriarSir Bowie of Greenbriar (a.k.a.
