Hodgepodge

My walk this morning was close to the house - a look out at the natural world and the plants blooming in our flowerbeds.

We have a good crop of Douglas fir cones this year.

Ah, the blue of Chickory!

Is there anything prettier?

Hawthorn berries

Blackberries

One of the earliest signs of autumn - the Ash leaves have begun to turn.

Another sign - new catkins on the Hazelnut.

This lily grew outside of the deer fence - so far the deer have left it alone.

Autumnal sunflower

Rose

My favorite lily

Monster Howden pumpkin

Rudbeckia

Helenium 

Rudbeckia Henry Eilers

Rudbeckia triloba

That's it for today - stay cool and hydrated!

Everything looks beautiful. I will keep my fingers crossed that the deer stay away from that lovely lily! We are still cool but the heat is forecast to come by the weekend! UG!
