Wednesday's Walk

 The wildfire smoke is drifting elsewhere.

Let's go outside.

It's late August - but there are signs of Fall's approach.

Acorn

oak Galls

Queen Anne's Lace

Spent Thistles

Hazel brush is still bright green

But the Cow's Parsnip is taupe.

My stand of Pearly Everlasting is greatly diminished.

I could only find one small straggly plant.

Colors of autumn -- Bracken Fern

Blackberries

Blackberries in abundance

Pine Needles carpet the ground.

 Hey Acorn Woodpeckers!  Look!

See you next week.
