The nodding waxy flowers of Shinleaf are starting to open.
The garden escape, Thermopsis villosa, pops up occasionally. This one was in a thicket along the West River.
And a dead Sea Lamprey floated in shallow waters displaying its concentric circles of rasping teeth and its piercing multi-pointed tongue. The parasitic eels spawn in early summer and then die.
