Strolling into September

The last couple of days have been downright chilly, with temps just barely into the double digits. The dip in temperature not only cools the lake, but changes all the flora around us. I brought my camera along for a walk, to share the beauty of early fall.

Mother Nature sure knows how to ease us into the fall. The plants are beautiful and the palette is remarkable. She just never gets it wrong!! I'm not even sure what half of these are, but they were worth capturing and worth sharing.

I know that these are Astors.
And these are Queen Anne's Lace.
Golden Rod, which is NOT ragweed.
A pretty white berry on a red stem. No idea.
This was meant to be the little orange "pop" flowers, but
it looks great with the twigs and the Golden Rod.
Leaves beginning to change all over the place.
A shock of red maple in the distance.
The colour combination of lilac and yellow and green is beautiful.
And the sumach begin to glow.
