Sunset Waning

Sunsets disappearing remind me of the warm temperatures disappearing as we move onto fall.

Morning Glory is a common weed, but it does look great.

This vine was growing and flowering in a corn field.

Kiss Me Over The Garden Gate is an annual flowering plant.

Persicaria orientalis is a self-seeding annual, so do not have to plant it everywhere. It can be weedy.

Goldenrod is a late flowering plant and attracts a lot of insect pollinators.

It is the preferred flower of the Locust Borer.

Lingering fog was hanging low in some spots.

A different day this month was very foggy, then I saw the fog move East.

It is nice to see different colors of watermelon.

This is a yellow watermelon that is just as tasty as any.

Here is a pile of the various melons that were grown in the garden this year.

My potted fig tree has been producing more fruit.

Even though I can’t grow this tree in the ground because it is not cold hardy, it works great as a potted tree.

These two different species of wingnuts are keeping each other company in the goat pasture.

Someday these Wingnuts(Pterocarya) should cross and produce hybrid trees.

Always seems like a surprise when these lilies pop up in late summer.

This is a Sphinx Moth.

They are the adult form of hornworms.
