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!!!

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
