A Saturday Walk

I took a walk through the Dykeman Spring Nature Park today on the way to the grocery store. Signs of autumnal changes are advancing - the Calico Asters, another Fall flower, are blooming; and some of the vines and shrubs are turning color, especially the Virginia Creeper. There was a lot to see on today's walk!

The Virginia Creeper is starting to turn red
Mushrooms on the forest floor beside the creek
Calico Asters on the banks of the north pond
Fall colors are even appearing in the reflections on the pond

Cloud castles over the mountains to the north, viewed from the meadow
