"Tour De Ponds"

 I set out today to find some beach plums on the Middle Moors...but the bushes I checked out were bare!  Did the plums not grow,  or did the birds or people get there first?  The blossoms were glorious during the spring....

My bike ride turned into a Tour de France-  but a tour of the Middle Moors Ponds.  It's the time before what looks like fall... with the golden sickle-leaved asters on the roads,  the sweet everlasting and downy goldenrod opening,  and the first asters popping.  The Sweet Pepper  (Clethra Alnifolia) is gone.
