Red ivy

On my way home from the SJC homecoming (SJC won the football game in overtime, 24-21--I watched about five minutes of it and then talked to alums), I noticed some beautiful red ivy.

 Even poison ivy can be beautiful this time of the year.

The asters are blooming, probably the last major flower group of the year. You can see tiny white asters above next to some scruffy corn. My New England asters, which I worried might not be able to cope with the dry summer, are in their prime.

My wild sunflowers are almost done blooming and I have some small birds feasting on the seeds.
