Yesterday

Here’s more photos from my walk yesterday afternoon…

Goldenrod in bloom---a sure sign that summer is moving ever onward toward autumn:

The fields look pretty good, but the rain we’ve gotten came too late and yields are expected to be less than usual:

The Vervain continues to bloom.  I love taking pictures of this wildflower!  Here’s one I jazzed up to use as a computer screen background:

The golden rod and rabbit brush are all blooming right now...three weeks early. Makes me wonder if we are going to have a hard winter.

I so love that last shot. The others are wonderful but that last one pulls at my heart.
