Here in upstate NY, we have had unseasonable weather - highs in the 50's - and, just as I thought that the wildflowers were gone for good, they have made a comeback.
On the Vestal Rail Trail, where I exercise on weekends (now that Daylight Time has ended), spouse and I were amazed to find a patch of blooming dandelions. Here's one.
Here is what I believe is a witch hazel, in bloom at one end of the Rail Trail.
And one final view of trees soon to be bare.
We have not had a truly spectacular display of foliage in several years now. But I'll gladly trade some color for no snow on the ground in November.
AM (Bookworm): You captured those flowers that think it's spring again in a beautiful way. Here in Kansas City, Missouri our fall foliage began later than usual and bright color has come in stages - orange maples here, red burning bush there.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful to you for keeping my blog on your blogroll. I have decided on a new name for it: W-C-H-S...M-P-H-S...P-A-R-K Diary Writing 1960-1965. The URL remains the same, http://parkcollege1961-1965.blogspot.com/. I am thinking a way to name it in a blogroll might be A Park College Diary 1961-1965.
Just lovely...I ADORE Witch Hazel...so stunning :-)
