Just as the local goldenrod fades to golden brown, the New England asters kick it down for a little late-summer color:
Our local asters come in a variety of colors including some wonderfully prolific lavender and white ones, but this intensely magenta variation really floats my boat.
Another seasonal standout, albeit invasive to some degree, is the Virginia creeper which has gotten overly comfortable in these parts:
Its intense autumn reds nearly pardon it for smothering its host trees, as it did to this little specimen in Windsor.
Thanks to Elliot for his fine work, most evident in the first shot, where there’s good depth-of-field despite the stiff breezes of the season.

Up in Hawley, the next town south of here, a hay wagon sits patiently as its grass grows:
Elliot snagged this scene, from the grass beneath my feet to the distant horizon.
Gawd, I love that boy! 😉
