Foggy Days

 

Foggy September 10 sunrise

In early September,  the Bluff Walk abounds with  Queen Anne’s Lace, goldenrod, autumn clematis, and rose hips. The showy clematis blankets the shrubs, the grape leaves flutter and the groundsel is budding. At Squam Farm, the cobwebs hang in the fog, while goldenrods, grasses and grapes contrast with the reflowering pasture thistles. Mockernuts have fallen from the hickories. Gerardia and Liatris are a treat, as wells a brown thrasher and a least flycatcher. The Milestone Bog is filled with burnweed and still some sickle-leaved silk grass. Sweet Everlasting is in bloom.
