Those New England Asters are beautiful! Love these pictures. I can always feel Fall here because of the smell of apples. Clendenen's Cider Works opens and suddenly it smells like apples all the time. I love it.
We also have Joe Pye Weed and Ironweed all over.
Jennifer: Aren't the asters gorgeous? I would love the smell of that cider mill near you. Mmm...nothing like the scent of warm apples or cider. ☺
Colleen: We had both of those here, too, but they have already gone to seed.
Thanks! It's great to see fall flowers!
And you take awesome pictures.

Sadly, the late bloomers I've been looking at are on my eggplant and tomato plants. I have little hope of getting a crop in before the snow hits.
Thanks, Mia! I'm glad you liked! ☺
Alice: I know how you feel. With this week's cold snap, there's no hope of getting more beans from my sole surviving plant. I'm hoping for a couple more zucchini, though.
Goldenrod and ragweed are the bane of August-Sept. and early October for allergy sufferers.. Lovely shots.
Anita: They are indeed -- at least the goldenrod looks pretty, lol.
Beautiful pics! I love flowers! :)
Oh, picked up a couple Monk Books!
*hugs*
Paige
Beautiful pictures! I love fall!
Thanks, Paige! I hope you enjoy the Monk books. ☺
Yvonne: Thank you. I usually love autumn, but not when the cold temps come this earlier. Freezing my but off the last couple days!
My poor zucchini got hit hard. I covered it on the worst night, but apparently that wasn't enough. It's like what happens when you freeze lettuce.
What lovely flowers - thanks for sharing them with us! I don't see many wildflowers, living in the city. This was like a virtual walk in the fields for me. :)
Alice: Yes, I'm wondering if a walk out to the garden before I leave work today is even worth it. We set a couple new record low highs last week, and had temps at 40F or just below over night. :-\
Kimberly: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the virtual walk. I really am spoiled living in a city with so many nature preserves. I love that both the Arboretum and Dawley Conservancy are within walking distance. ☺
The milkweed is pretty, but I love the New England asters! And since I live in Texas, blooms don't last long around here unless you have a greenhouse. I'm looking forward to fall.
Forgetfulone: No milkweed in this post, so assume you mean water smartweed? It is pretty, but I much prefer the asters and gentians myself. : )
