Bottle and Asters

We have sun today, so I was working in that,

but still with still life.

This series is an old medicine bottle, and a few aster seed heads.

And the sunlight and shadows, of course.

Please let me know what you think...

October Wildflowers

These are my favourite images 

from the captures I made yesterday.

all about flowers and other macros.

First Frost

We had first frost last week.

I only took 170 photos, so I am still editing them,

but I had to share some of my favourites, so far.

so please drop in to see more blossoms, and other macros!

Asters at the Construction Site

I picked some asters to bring home, then walked through the construction site. 

I placed my bouquet into this convenient steel pipe, while I captured something else, then had to capture the bouquet as well.

Asters and Virginia Creeper

I love the contrast between the pale asters and the Virginia creeper,

even if the creeper leaves are battered.

One of the joys of fall...

Busy Little Bees

We have not  yethad a killing frost, so the bees are still busy with the asters and any other flowers they can still find.

Frosted Asters

The asters still have a few seed heads to catch the frost.

Asters

A new set of aster captures,

 with an entirely different feel to them...

 

Still Life

We have had a day and a half of rain,

 so I have been playing

 with still lifes again.

 I delete a lot of photos, but keep some...

 

Asters

My book lists 16 varieties of asters.

 I think I have identified four in the fields around home.

 But I have not been looking at the foliage, so there may be more...

First Asters of Fall

I found the first asters blooming.

Fall is coming.

 

Wild Asters

The wild asters beside the frozen pond still dream of autumn's warmth.
