Milkweed seeds escaping on silky parachutes
When I see milkweed in my my gardens, I dig it out. BUT when I see it in a natural setting I can't resist photographing it.
This week we have experienced mixed weather: fog, rain and sun. The temperature has been rather nice throughout. Kids (and adults) still enjoy beach combing even though the leaves are changing, berries are ripening and seeds are drying. It has been a lovely fall so far.

a beautiful collage.
Fantastic shot...love the fall pics too.
The collage is lovely and so is the single milkweed shot. I love seeing those seeds sparkling in the sun.
That is a beautiful collage. I love the name of your blog -- I don't know if that is a family name, but it makes me think of Jane Austen and her characters!
Very pretty collage! It looks so perfectly autumnal with the berries and the foliage, the mists and the milkweed.
Love your mosaic! Nice mixture of close-ups and long-range shots. ALL of them are beautiful.
Beautiful collage.
Beautiful fall views. Valerie
Love the milkweed pod exploded. My late MIL painted milkweed (series) and your photo reminded me of her. Thank you.

I love the detail on that milkweed! Just beautiful!
It has been a lovely fall so far. Beautiful mosaic. Wishing you a blessed week. Jen
A very pretty grouping of photos.
The photos are amazing . . . the mosaic beautiful.
We have had a lot of egrets on the beach all summer. That is a new phenomenon.
I love to see milkweed as I know it attracts butterflies. Their seed pods and seeds are so pretty. I love your mosaic photos. Beautiful! We've had 10 straight days of sunshine to be interrupted by rain tomorrow. I think we might need a little bit now. :)
Wonderful shots and I love the wispy seeds.
How bracing!
Love this October post, and your milk pod escapade, Dear pal

The collage is Beautiful!

Lovely collage!
We're having a lovely autumn in the UK too though it's causing problems in the garden as everything has stopped growing except the weeds which still think it's midsummer! I always love your collages.
The signs of Autumn are adorable and you prepared a beautiful collage!

Lovely Autumns scenes, the milkweed is pretty. Beautiful mosaic! Have a happy week!
i would love to see the oh so lovely milkweed explosion in real time.
Beautiful milkweed! :)
October is beautiful in your area. The milkweed photo is really interesting.

These are making me long to get out for a good ramble!
Milkweed does photograph well - but as you've said - it's no fun in a garden. Lovely autumn shots!
Super macro of the milkweed blowing in the breeze EG, autumn still looking good out your way.
Ooohhh, I love those fall colors in the grove of trees. Glad you are having a nice fall so far. We're experiencing our first cool day. :)
All the photos in the collage are beautiful! I know what you mean about the milkweed. The can be pretty, but NOT in our yards.
I love a good collage.
=)
I love the seeds! So pretty!
Love that first photo and your sweet collage!
Perfect days for a perfect season. Your collage is great. And the milk week macro is stunning. The lighting in that photo is awesome.
BEautiful seeds!
Soft fluffy milkweed, beautiful!
I do enjoy the milkweeds. I always leave them for the monarchs. :-)
Lovely fall photos.
Pretty fall in your area. I am trying to collect all the milkweed seeds that I can to donate to Monarch Watch and it is a task.. Michelle
