There are several varieties of goldenrod native to our area. This, I think, is Sweet Goldenrod (Solidago odora), as smaller, more compact variety that blooms in fields and open woods.

Virgin’s Bower (Clematis virginiana) is a vine that grows in open fields and forest fringes. Its feathery petals are unusual and wonderfully delicate. Can you spot the hidden yellow crab spider?

I was back in my old stomping grounds of northeast Ohio visiting my mother after dropping off my daughter at college. My Mom & I went for a walk through fields and woods that I used to spend a lot of time in as a kid. It was interesting to see how things have changed—trees grown, fields vanishing to thickets and woods, old paths disappeared. This shot of Joe Pye weed shows a bit of color coming to the maples as well.
