"Thistle And Goldenrod"

By Scott Loring Davis, Fine Art Photography https://pixels.com/profiles/scottloringdavis

As I often do, I make a conscious attempt to pay no attention to the obvious and instead look for the equally spectacular little things that are hidden in the big picture- SEE IMAGE https://pixels.com/featured/thistle-and-goldenrod-scott-loring-davis.html

A close up image of goldenrod in the winter. The details of the plant and it's pale golden colours can be seen against the blurry background.

Sun-kissed goldenrod in its winter plumage.

A tall stem of goldenrod arcing to the right on a chilly December morning, its tiny flower blooms covered in white fluff look spiny backlit by the sun.

This is from about a week ago. I saw some goldenrod still blooming today.

A short goldenrod plant growing by the sidewalk. The fuzzy yellow flowers stand out against the brown wood of an electric pole.

The importance of late season availability of #NativePlants shown in the variety of native bees, wasps and hoverflies on several tufts of #goldenrod flowers.

Ended up with about 38 lbs / 17 kg honey put in the jars. 26 jars and each jar is 23+ oz or about 660 gram average.

26 jars of honey stacked in 4 tiers. The bottom tier is 8 jars and the top tier is 5 jars. Each jar is about a pint of volume and contains more than 23 ounces or about 660 grams on average. The honey is honey colored, not too dark, not too light. They are stacked on a wood table. The background is large windows with lawn and trees and blue sky showing.

one august afternoon I met an Autumn Meadowhawk. I'd never seen one before. this is a brief capture from the silent ~hour we spent together. ever since, I see them (& their various dragonfly cousins) everywhere. maybe I passed some secret interview process. #dragonfly #biodiversity #goldenrod #nativeplants #rewilding

A Viceroy Butterfly perched on Goldenrod Flowers. Its wings are fully spread out. They look much the same as Monarch Butterflies but are slightly smaller. Unlike Monarchs they are tasty to eat but don't look so...

Nothing like beautiful #goldenrod in our back yard to announce the arrival of #autumn #wildflowers #nature #FlowerFriday BTW, many who assume they are allergic to goldenrod are actually allergic to ragweed which blooms at the same time but less showy.

goldenrod is a pollinator magnet, here's a little gif. there were like 40-60 flying things of all sizes buzzing this one inflorescence in my yard, and I have another few dozen around the yard elsewhere. :3

The goldenrod is busy with bees and locust borers.

A half-black bumblebee on goldenrod flowers. The bee is yellow and black and somewhat small. It is probably a male bee.

A locust borer on goldenrod flowers, it is black with yellow stripes. There are other borers and bees in the background.

Our native wildflower garden is, for the first time since seeding (3 years ago?) producing #aster! It's nice to have a color other than yellow. The #goldenrod from my childhood home still looks lovely, though.
