Blue Curls, a member of the mint family, favor dry sandy areas often roadsides that are scraped bare during maintenance. Long arching stamens and a spotted lower lip make this much branching little plant easy to identify.
Sneezewort is also in flower. This one probably a cultivar called "The Pearl."
And four Mergansers crowded a midstream rock in the West River this morning, seemingly unconcerned at my presence.
