Serendipity – Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth

I have an interesting relationship with my macro lens. Sometimes, I love it to pieces. When it decided to work, it is perfection.
Macro lenses are kind of touchy. They may focus where you want them to focus — or they may focus where they feel they should focus.
Just a few more flowers of summer as we head deep into autumn. Hard to believe flowers are still blooming!
More red roses on the big bush in the garden. I guess that heavy pruning worked out.
They are still blooming like crazy. The roses, that is. Usually, the roses throw a few blooms even late in the summer, but we have entire full branches of roses in both red and pink
And it’s almost the middle of October.
My garden is a mess right now. Most of the flowers are dead and many need to be cleared out. I’ve done a bit of it, but it needs more. I’m not so steady on my feet right now, so I think it’s going to wait until I’m less likely to fall down.
Meanwhile, my roses are blooming and there are a lot more rhododendrons. What’s even stranger is that the rhododendrons are blooming — in the middle of October. They don’t bloom this time of year.
These are our blooming rhododendrons. These are old-fashioned bushes with single, white flowers.
I always try to take pictures of the wildflowers down by the river and ponds. This time of year, mostly it seems to be Goldenrod and Asters. The asters come in a lot of colors. The ones at home are those tiny, dainty white ones with the yellow center, but the ones by the river are pink and purple and sometimes white … and occasionally bunches of them all different colors.
Meanwhile, my roses are still blooming but the rhododendrons have about tripled in size. Maybe it was because I cut back the roses? Did that give the rhododendrons room to grow?
I played around with the colors and textures of the flowers. Sometimes, I can’t help it. I get artsy.
I saw them along the driveway and I thought they were my miniature Korean lilacs. Close up, they turned out to be a huge growth of tiny asters.
Each bunch of asters looked like a lilac — if you don’t see very well, that is.
