Milkweed
We're back on a daily hiking regimen again. The meadows at Al Sabo Preserve have quite a lot of milkweed growing in them, and on a breezy day like today the hairy seeds are blowing about and catching on everything. I started snapping shots of them in the meadow right by the parking lot.

 Not like we did in summer, and I've had terrible luck getting photos of them!
Dragonflies have been a lot more cooperative. I've chased butterflies like an idiot all over the place and the little pricks treat me like a paparazzi.I finally more or less gave it up. If it happens, it happens. Let 'em make an appointment for a photo shoot if they want exposure- I'm done chasing their asses.

I'll take that as a yes. I can usually see em from where I'm standing.

I can see 'em just fine. They won't hold still.

Thank you Pet. Three posts in one night- my index finger is tired, and my mouse is heating up!

 I've not come across milkweed before; I don't think it grows here.

Their flowers are gorgeous. They were covered with butterflies and bees this summer. I took quite a few pictures of them.

When the seeds blow free in the wind they're little gossamer fairy like things, and it was breezy that day. They were floating and sticking everywhere, especially in the west meadow.

It's native here- I don't know of you can get it for gardens where you are or not. But it grows wild here and you see it in fields gone fallow and in prairie restorations. It's common in roadside ditches too. We have milkweed along the road in front of our house.
