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.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot...love the fall pics too.
ReplyDeleteThe collage is lovely and so is the single milkweed shot. I love seeing those seeds sparkling in the sun.
ReplyDeleteThat 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!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty collage! It looks so perfectly autumnal with the berries and the foliage, the mists and the milkweed.
ReplyDeleteLove your mosaic! Nice mixture of close-ups and long-range shots. ALL of them are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collage.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall views. Valerie
ReplyDeleteLove the milkweed pod exploded. My late MIL painted milkweed (series) and your photo reminded me of her. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteA very pretty grouping of photos.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are amazing . . . the mosaic beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe 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. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots and I love the wispy seeds.
ReplyDeleteHow bracing!
ReplyDeleteLove this October post, and your milk pod escapade, Dear pal

Lovely collage!
ReplyDeleteWe'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.
ReplyDeleteThe signs of Autumn are adorable and you prepared a beautiful collage!

These are making me long to get out for a good ramble!
ReplyDeleteMilkweed does photograph well - but as you've said - it's no fun in a garden. Lovely autumn shots!
ReplyDeleteSuper macro of the milkweed blowing in the breeze EG, autumn still looking good out your way.
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, 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. :)
ReplyDeleteAll the photos in the collage are beautiful! I know what you mean about the milkweed. The can be pretty, but NOT in our yards.
ReplyDeleteI love a good collage.
