The aphids' and ants' relationship was fascinating to know. Thanks for sharing that tidbit of extended knowledge between the two. And your photo of the fir limb and dandelion-type seed pod is beautiful! I enjoyed seeing your photos.Been spending more time in nature as of late, as you'll see below, enjoying it before it gets too cold to be comfortable doing so as often.
Here's a wooly aphid farm, being farmed by the ant(s) - fascinating:
Herding Aphids: How 'Farmer' Ants Keep Control Of Their Food
Chemicals on ants' feet tranquilise and subdue colonies of aphids, keeping them close by as a ready source of food, says new research. The study throws new light on the complex relationship between ants and the colonies of aphids whose sugary secretions the ants eat.www.sciencedaily.com

Collecting black walnuts to take to the local wildlife center to help the feeding of 19 bear cubs they've taken in that were either orphaned, injured, or separated from their mothers - still have A LOT to gather, if/when the rain ever stops:

This is Ms. Sound Therapy Spidey's neighboring web, made me think of the times I felt like I was in the gutter, then when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I would inevitably run into a brick wall - whew - glad to see some beauty attached to the bricks and gutters for a change:

For all the times I made a wish and blew on the wish plants, be it dandelions or otherwise, then wondered why my wish never came true - it simply got hung up along the way - there's still time :

I can almost smell the hay field and feel the coolness of the overcast sky, @Changing4Best! Seeing pasture land throws me back to so many happy memories playing at my Grandparents' home, when young. And your area of the world looks like it could be where I grew up. ~sigh~
