The Ordinary

What could be more ordinary than a dandylion? Walking in the parks near Ann Arbor, I've been trying to
look again at ordinary things in nature, things that normally I don't bother to photograph.
It's a cliché to talk about finding beauty in Nature, but it's also one of the ways you can really enjoy your surroundings.

Poison Ivy? We wish it wasn't so ordinary.

Looking up at the trees: beautiful. And ordinary.

I never find 4-leaf clovers! But I have some eagle-eye relatives who
find them everywhere.

At its peak a couple of weeks ago, the Peony Garden in the Arboretum was pretty. It has one of the largest collections
of peony varieties in the world, we are told.

We see vultures almost every time we take a walk in a park.

Canada geese overpopulate every open space near water, so their goslings are cute but unwelcome.
Other ordinary birds that I don't bother to photograph include robins, English sparrows, and even the colorful cardinals.
