September

 

September is a month that generally makes me a bit moody.  I always live in anticipation of spring and summer as I so enjoy getting outside and photographing nature.  September is a wake up call for me.  Autumn has arrived and summer is now a memory.  Cold winter is only a short time away.

So, I’ve been brooding a bit and haven’t gone out with the camera to catch what is still out there.   Several days ago, I noticed the peas in the garden have some beautiful flowers on what is left of the plants.  I’ve put it off, day after day.  Too bright, too windy, too many other things to get done first.

The calendar keeps marching forward and it was time for me to shake it off and get out there.  So, here are a couple of photos of the flowers.  It is rather windy out there today (you might ask, when isn’t it windy in South Dakota?) so, it required quite a bit of patience to wait for a lull in the wind and capture these tiny flowers in focus!

I have a few more shots from the garden that I’ll post over the next day or two.
