A little closer ….

For Hugh’s #WordlessWednesday challenge.
For the visually impaired – in the center of the picture is what looks like the trunk of a smallish tree with stumps for arms and a head.

At first I thought this was some sort of fuzzy caterpillar. But it’s not. Check out other pictures that need no explanation or … perhaps they do … at Hugh’s News and VIews

I took this picture early this morning just before dawn broke. I believe this plant is called a “smoke bush.”

The morning air was a nippy 57 degrees with bright blue skies and finally, finally some hope the temperatures were cooling. And they did but only slightly. Tomorrow should be a repeat of today.

Meanwhile the red quill is spent. It’s five and a half inch stalk now lies on the ground, it’s tip propped up by other plants also dying.
