Gorgeous Autumns day for a hike at Mass Audubon Stony Brook. Lots of Asters and Autumn Meadowhawks. Always thrilled to see a Garter Snake. #nature #naturewalk #asters #reptile #snake #grasshopper #muteswan #playoutside #massachusetts #naturephotography #hike

Are these #asters? #Fall brings interesting flowers to our weedy yard. The stupid kochia still dominates parts, in spite of the goats. But I love how these #flowers pop up here and there.

Early signs and symptoms of Fall 🍁 (4/6)

Dew drops on asters ✨️

It might be hard to see all of them, but I was thrilled to find so many busy bees on my native asters. #Blueskyartshow #wildlifewednesday #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #asters

(And glad I got this before the neighbor's lawnmower started!)

Steady stream of visitors today! Fly, beauties, fly! #MonarchButterfly #Asters #Fall #VT #BeautyScrolling #31DaysofHalloween

The #asters and the blue #hydrangea are the last two flowers to bloom, but they are worth the wait!!!

Frost Aster (Symphyotrichum pilosum) shot Saturday in the Graduate Hospital Area.

Life has gotten heavy, I needed a little break. Nature soothes my soul at times like this.

An October storm
swept away summer’s remains
yet brought forth new bloom
of a few cosmos
amidst the asters

we weathered the storm
the front garden still intact
asters in full bloom

I went to a native wildflower patch today to see butterflies, and found this Black Swallowtail hanging around. It stayed mostly immersed in the asters which made for some pretty colorful framing! 😀

Chilly and damp day today in #VT! I thought this chonker was a goner - it was laying lifeless in my driveway. When I picked it up… it was just waiting for a lift to get to the flowers. #Bumblebees #MacroMonday #Asters #BloomScrolling #ColorADay #PinkMon #Invertebrates #BugSky

#Asters along my bike route this week. I have to resist stopping multiple times to snap pics! 😍

It's time to slow down and admire some pretty things. Today: frost aster with a bumble bee
