End of the Season

Flowering Dogwood - Full Fall Color

This week marks the end of the growing season. We had our first killing frost.

There continues to be splashes of vibrant color in the woods; the dogwood trees have been particularly good. We have thousands of them here at the Prairie Garden Trust.

This week Bill Frank brought out his big yellow combine to harvest 20-acres of soybeans. We are getting ready to plant them back into native prairie plants. More subjects to photograph.

Last week we had a managed burn on the 43-acres north of our house. We have to burn our prairies about every three years to keep them vigorous.

This week also is the end of the season for the Presidential election. I'm ready for it to end! I'm spending way too much time reading the blogs and checking the polls.
