Late Summer Abundance

August has gone by and September has begun. But it's still hot and humid; this morning's walk in the Dykeman Spring Nature Park was a damp one indeed. Lots of late Summer flowers are blooming - Wingstem, New York Ironweed, Goldenrod, Gaura, and Jewelweed - and soon the Fall Asters will start up. Here's something of a pictorial record of this morning's walk.

The Jewelweed is prolific in the Dykeman Spring wetland this year
There's lots of Goldenrod this year, too. Get out the antihistamine!

  2. Great photos. The bees in the first photo are a nifty surprise! Nice of the groundhog to strike a pose for you.
