I don’t know why but I enjoy seeing how plants change once cool weather arrives. Cat tails and Milkweed puff out and their seeds blow through fields and meadows, flowers turn to seed heads and of course, the leaves on the trees change from green to red, orange, gold and yellow.

A happy bumble bee gathering pollen from a Malva Sylvestra flower. In the fall the bumble bees were happily enjoying all of my flowers that were still in bloom, gathering the last of the pollen for the year. It’s amazing how many bumble bees a small garden can fill up with on a nice autumn [...]
I took this photo in early October. The bumble bees were all over my New York Asters enjoying the pollen. I love watching the bees try to fly away with their back legs coated in pollen. It’s kind of funny at times. Related Reading: Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S50 Document Scanner (B11B194011) Fire Station Number 4: [...]
