Stinkbug 2.0 (Pentatomidae)
A stinkbug at Bryan Park on the same day we saw that other stinkbug at Bryan Park. I wanted to ID it, but brown stinkbugs are no fun to ID because there's tons of them and they all just look like brown stinkbugs.

Flower
A white flower of unknown origin. I think it belongs to that triplet of leaves right next to it, not to the wild grape growing directly behind it or the monocot in front of it. Maybe Fragaria sp.?

Nodding flowers
Flowers with too many stamens at Rockwood Park in May 2015. They're really hard to ID because I didn't get a good enough picture of the leaves.
