The through-the-binoculars focus of my phone is understandably awful…but the sight of several White Crowned Sparrows up to their eyeballs in my Violets and Dandelions-filled lawn was priceless! #birds #birdwatching #sparrows #whitecrowned #nomow #wildlawn #wildflowers #dandelions #violets
Every Spring, my defiantly untreated lawn offers an achingly beautiful carpet of Violets that makes my heart sing. Alas, beauty is fleeting as the landscaping guys will arrive soon to cut. Til next Spring! #nature #wildflowers #violets #wildlawn #beauty #shadows @thekentacorn.bsky.social

Think I may need to cut my clover lawn. The stepping stones are starting to look like they belong to a long lost civilisation! #amateurgardener #naturetakesover #cloverlawn #wildlawn

Our annual burn last night in our suburban but very natural wild lawn. Increasing the vegetative cover of the native little bluestem grass. Starting a burn at dusk is relatively safe due to high & continually increasing humidity. We use only rakes to spread flames. No drip torch. #wildLawn
A dandelion seed head in a tangle of green and brown grasses. Its seeds are coming loose, some just sitting there, waiting for a little breeze to blow them away.
Seeing a lot of dandelions and dandelion clocks lately, so here's my contribution.
Little seed friends all ready to go and infuriate the neighbours come spring :~)
