The temps reached over 30C while we were hiking in the park, so we often found ourselves by the shore, in search of a cool breeze off the water. 09/20/19
We are spending a few days in Riding Mountain National Park, about 3 hours northwest of home. It’s our very own mountain in the middle of the Prairies, and the park itself includes almost 3000 km (1146 sq. miles) of pristine wilderness. It’s a treasure we try to visit at least once a year. The autumn colours are just beginning to turn & the weather has been lovely, although it’s been hot & humid again, which has made hiking a bit of a challenge. This is an iPhone shot taken from a little picnic park by the roadside, overlooking Clear Lake, one of many lakes in the park. I only have my ipad for processing so I played with it in iColorama to try to make it a little more painterly …. 09/19/19
I think the general consensus here is that Asters are too numerous & too similiar to spend much time & energy trying to identify them, so I will just call them all … ‘another Aster’. Although the urge to identify is difficult to overcome, isn’t it? 09/17/19
