of the West Meadow on the second cutting. Actually taken a week ago, the trees have really started to turn now.

Fall always produces some rather nice ones around here….

September Flowers Tuesday, Sep 10 2013

September probably has the highest flower count here: if you were to count each individual aster, lobelia, etc.? Hundreds of thousands easily.  Spring and fall are the two growing seasons for New England, summer is survival against the heat and winter is survival against the cold.

The white wood aster, by the way, (which is in this photo) actually is fragrant: a very subtle floral scent on a good dry day…at least when one is standing in a patch several hundred feet square!

August, 1909, at the beach Saturday, Sep 7 2013 

I know it is after Labor Day, the temperature last night was 41 (and didn’t the tropical houseplants like that!), and I am finally posting beach photos.  Not my beach photos, I don’t like the beach, too much sun.  I’ll visit in the winter and listen to the wind, thank you.

Anyway, August 1909; presumably somewhere Long Island Sound.  The man with the pipe might be George Creevey; who the rest are, in particular the old lady in the hat???

The West Meadow wall, a view looking along the top.  And yes that is poison ivy!

Caterpillars

Haven’t a clue as to his identity, but the curled ‘tail’ is decidedly cute, even if his head is exceedingly, indeed unfortunately ugly.

 

Caterpillars

We always have these little white and black furry caterpillars on the porch, no clue with their identity either.  If anyone knows of a good Caterpillar ID guide, I’d love the reference.

Contemplations on a Chambered Nautilus Tuesday, Aug 13 2013

I know, an overly grandiose title for a picture that I could Not get to work.  Still, the empty room (which won’t stay empty, but that is what it is) does put me in mind of Wyeth’s work.
