Wordless Wednesday: Out of Focus

I'm participating in Thematic Photographic 20 - Blur. Usually, I delete blurry photos. So, I'm glad I kept these to share.

#1
Bush Honeysuckle (an invasive species)

#2

White Ash (a native species)

#3

Grasshopper - species and status unknown.


#4

Brown bat - exact species unknown (didn't have time to ID), but it is Native. I have a great story to tell about this photo.

  6. I think I have one of those in the first shot. It's a sprawling bush in my front yard. The berries look the same.

  7. thanks all.

    carrie- that does sound like bush honeysuckle. there is an effort to remove these species because they crowd out native species. Environmental groups recommend remving them and planting a native shrubby species in its place.
