August Park Shadows #ShadowshotSunday

Yesterday was a beautiful day to take a walk in a local park. 

The bushes with white flowers are Japanese knotweed, an extremely invasive plant.  That being said, they also are a prime source for late season nectar for honeybees and bumblebees in our area. I've had their honey (it's dark) and have enjoyed it, even as these displace native plants.   I would still rather have the native plants.

This is a tree planted several years ago under a New York State program.  These and others are thriving now.

    Japanese knotweed is an invasive pest and difficult to eradicate.
