Running past the weeds

On a morning run at Willowmere Park I passed a stunning display of thistles. I walked back for a closer look and found more to see than just weeds. The hummingbird moth was a bonus but the bindweed so entranced me I failed to focus on the last of the pokeweed berries, although they’re a favorite sight for me since Harold S told me about them. Don’t know what the puffballs are.

Our rose

rose-remaining
Our rose is still with us, despite having suffered a one-inch rainfall and then a number of frosts. This may be my last rose picture of the year, because right afterwards, Jammer knocked off a half-dozen petals with a swipe of her tail.
