Today was a sunny autumn day, and I had painting class in the afternoon. I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to be outside on a sunny day. So I took a bus across the Grand Island bridge. I got off the bus on River Road, and got on the Riverwalk, which, at some point, turns into the Empire State Trail. And then, I walked the rest of the way to the art studio in North Tonawanda. While I was walking, I chose several types of things to photograph, which I will showcase on Wordless Wednesdays. Today, I am showcasing the flowers of late autumn. Enjoy!
They are lovely! Did you see any chrysanthemums? They are my favorite fall flower. I used to buy the plant, but always ended up killing it, unfortunately. Hope you enjoyed your painting class!
Thank you for sharing these lovely pictures! How I'd love to take a walk there too!
Hello Alice,
Great pictures. I like the berries and the pine cone. It has probably released all of its seeds. A couple of months ago, I watched a squirrel eating a green pine cone. He held it like it was a cob of corn and removed each "leaf" to access the seed under it. When he was finished there was a pile of the "leaves" on the ground and he was holding what looked like a miniature corn cob with all of the kernels removed.
I often hear North Tonawanda mentioned in the media for either news or weather reports on the south side of the lake.
How many miles did you walk today?
Beautiful photos! My favorite is the one with the pinecone!
Lovely colors. My favorite is the plain old chicory. A wildflower, weed, or a crop, it's multi-purpose!
such pretty colors and flowers!! i want to go on a wildflower walk
