Ok, here's my attempts for this assignment today.

Switch grass

Joe Pye

Elm

Cottonwood tree

Good thing we had a beautiful blue sky today as a backdrop.âº

Laurie, I like your trees...looking uuuppp!!

I didn't realize how the moisture from the stalks of the peonies drops to ground level and really expands the stalks, until the other day when I saw them when I was cutting down the peonies for winter. I thought that this would be an interesting picture...

Today as I went for a walk down the driveway I came across this little wildflower. Had to go back for my camera. Of course, then when I was on my stomach my border collie thought that this meant time to play and sat right in front of the camera, on the dandelion. It doesn't look too worse for wear.

I came back to the house and got onto my stomach on the cement walkway and took a picture of the veronica spicata still blooming. It is about 1/2" across in reality. Didn't realize how cold the walkway was until I was down on my tummy on it.

Brenda

Lovely pics, both of you! Yes, Brenda, i can see where a cement sidewalk just might be a little cold this time of year! So it occurred to me that i could cheat a bit in this assignment. :) Can you guess how?

It was pretty dark already when i took these. Here's Clematis Ville de Lyons, which was lovely all summer and still has all its leaves:

And the bare branches and green buds of Sambucus 'Sutherland's Gold':

Laurie, I love your elm tree :)

Marcia, your Sambucus branches look really neat highlighted against the dark.

Let's hope we get lots of this blue sky this winter :)

Ang, what kind of flower is/was the first picture you posted? You really had to get down to do that one!! Is your ground frozen yet over there?

Brenda

Ok, I can't seem to resist that blue sky! Too, bad -19 C came along with it...brrr.

I like your pond shot, Savona :)
