After a week or two of home isolation, a normally active person will find things to occupy himself. His shop was organized, small duties finished and there was still time to fill, so, grabbing the camera and pointing it toward things during this Mississippi Spring is what Hayseed did. Here are some items he captured around his place during the last week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
The Daily Bucket is a nature refuge. We amicably discuss animals, weather, climate, soil, plants, waters and note life’s patterns.

There was so much material, that I compressed the photos into pairs. I decided to keep similar things together. Let’s start off with amphibians. The air has a hum from these jumpers, dusk to dawn. These two are high pitched chirpers. The brown one lives up hill near the house. The dark one lives down by the creek.
I went for a walk tonight and captured some Cricket frog serenades to go with these photos. Here’s a short 25 second video of high pitched buzzing and croaking.
The next pair are, like the frogs above, small and active. A flit, dart, zoom and then nothing is seen in the periphery of one’s vision. These two insects cause some of those movements.
Here are a couple of fliers (the flowers are Dwarf Buckeye blooms) that demand visual attention. They land on their destination and disappear until they take flight again.
There is a vine growing on a Hickory that bloomed briefly. I just a few days there were bud, then blooms and now seed pods. Here are those flowers.
I mixed up the photos a bit, because this is a diverse world and odd things share the same space. Some creatures are in the tree tops, while some scamper across the ground.
There are also the small wonders that most people walk by and never notice. Here is such an item. Less than an inch wide, growing in clumps of deep green areas, most would not notice the fuzz covering the pedals.
I live just up the road from Hayseed and we share most of the same environment. But, different eyes see different things. I still have files full of his videos to accompany these still shots that I will process for another diary. I’ll let this be the tease for the coming action feature.
We must not forget my bug of the day. I offer the Metallic Wood-boring Beetle. Be safe and stay well. Visit again and stay for the comments. Thank you stopping in.
