trying to photograph the tiny maroon floret - I'll try again somewhere away from the windy lake.
This is a Cyperus, one of our prettiest waterside sedges. There are 217 sedge species on my Connecticut "list," 13 of the genus Cyperus.
This tiny creature, the size of a fleck of dirt (maybe 1.5mm), somehow caught my attention as I was examining a Eupatorium (boneset). Nick says it's a dung caterpillar - I will try to find out.
This mama mallard is keeping a close eye on her chicks.
