I went out to Southeast Park on this gorgeous late summer afternoon. It was a balmy 81 and this time I took time to smell the roses or, should I say, photograph the wildflowers. There was plenty out there and I ran across a couple of things I've never seen before. Like St. Peter's-wort and Georgia Savory. Found an Elephant's Foot out there and may have found some Golden Asters and/or Beaked Hawkweed. The bird life was plentiful if not unusual. Plenty of Bluebirds and their fledgelings in various stages of molt and growth.
One note of interest is that the Winged Sumac is fruiting. I took a picture (which I'll probably post the next time the park is the subject) of the same one one I photographed earlier in the year when I wasn't sure what it was. The Checkered Skipper was quite beautiful on this grass or sedge. Maybe Bill or those with more knowledge of grasses can help ID this. A very beautiful day with a lot of change in the air and light.
