I'm sorry that the pictures are a little fuzzy, but the main features of these insects are more or less easily seen.
The first photo is of the plant's flowers; the second is of its leaves. The picture of the flowers may look a little blurry because my camera is a little light-sensitive.
I'm not exactly sure whether this is an American elm or a slippery elm. The slippery elm seems to have a similar leaf shape to this observation.
I'm very sure that this is Japanese stiltgrass; it's quite common in Great Falls Park.
The last time I saw this tree, it had star-shaped leaf clusters.
The leaves on this plant were a little less purple in reality than in the photo...
This is a sapling which is growing directly next to a larger tree of the same species.
This appeared to be a female white-tailed deer. She was apparently alone, as there didn't seem to be any other deer in the immediate area, but I could have been mistaken.
I'm not sure if this is a cultivated plant; it was growing next to a house, but it may have been naturally transported there as a seed.
This callery pear is most likely the offspring of two more trees of the same species growing nearby.
This is so exciting! I have never personally observed a wild turkey in this area before, but it appears that this individual has been sighted before.
This is an observation of the little blue flower in the picture.
