~~The Rest ..Of A Late Summer Walk~~

This day started with snapping and cracking of  lightening ,house shaking thunder, and downpours of rain...not exactly my interpretation of the weatherman's report , but we are going for a walk anyway!!

I decided to take up where we left of yesterday , so get your umbrella's out...  ; }



Some kind of fungi ...I love the color!!






I believe this is a Song Sparrow!!




Love it's expression in this one!!




The seeded head of this Thistle reminds me of
the exterior design of a fresh pineapple ...




Had to get a butterfly in here...
one of the Flittaries?



A Cresent ( tiny little guy) enjoying the Aster's!!








Some of the last pollen of summer to be had, and the
bee's are taken advantage of it!!



Wild apples....there is a lot this year
Should be a good
winter food supply for many birds and other animals!!

 Hope you enjoyed!!

Tomorrow we rest ...back to butterflies!! : }

    Another lovely stroll with you.
    I woke up this morning and the temp had dropped over night..quite chilly. My journey into work was through patchy fog...we haven't even had Autumn yet...

    Hi Grace, you are such a keen photographer and nature-lover. Did you be any chance put up a tent on the trail, instead of coming home? The pictures are lovely. I enjoy your captions with the photographs. Thanks for sharing!

    Looks like a lovely nature walk Grace and with a nice selection of things to photograph. That wasn't just a little complaint about the weather forecasters was it?

    LOVE these photos and the thistle is beautiful but can get out of control or I would love to have them just for the flower. Thank you for taking us along.

    Hi Grace, enjoyed this second part of the walk. We' re going to be getting out more too now that cooler temps are coming. The photos were a great accompaniment to the text or vice versa.

    Hi Grace,
    Some lovely photos there! The fritillary was a joy to see, as was the Song Sparrow.
    It has a distinct Autumn (Fall) feel in dear old Blighty now and we didn`t even get a summer!

    Lovely walk! Glad the apples are good up north. We are not experiencing the best year here at all due to all the spring rain. Boo! The only organic orchard has none so we will have to look elsewhere. The woods and fields are looking so beautiful now with all the changing colors!

    Oh I'm amazed you are still getting so much light. It is fading away here both because of the storms we start to have and the daylight decreased. But we can still get some nice light moment. You got a beautiful post with so nice colors....
