Even though we're in the midst of a real summer (defined as one in which swimming in the river is part of your day because it's warm enough to enjoy it), the flowers around here remind us that all seasons pass.I know when I start to see Black-eyed Susans that we aren't in early summer any more.
This is the same family of plants that includes echinacea (purple coneflower) and so many other rayed blossoms with raised centers. Notice the darker yellow within the lighter. Nice touch, eh?
Really, after spending an evening taking pictures of human architecture in White River Junction, I count myself relieved at being back in the natural world. The forms and structures of plants just fascinate me, how each one serves a different purpose, grows in a particularly suitable location, that geography brings forth certain forms and fragrances.
Nothing that humans do compares to a plant.
