This page begins with September 2nd with some yard and garden photos and then jumps to September 8th, with more at home photos, including some of our gardening rewards. Later the same evening we took a walk up the road and managed to shoot some very nice autumn colors of the birch and aspen forest. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

| Begin September 2nd and 8th |
The first two photos in this row show the reds exhibited by the Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium aka Chamerion angustifolium) in our own yard. The third shot is looking to the southeast from our porch.

The first shot here was taken looking straight up into the blue sky and the second shot was taken in our garden. The foreground plant is Mitsuba (Wild Japanese Parsley), which did amazingly well for us. In the background you can see a great deal of violet flowers, which are trying to take over our garden.

These two photos show some of those violet flowers, which Kazuya picked for a bouquet. He also added some pea flowers and some Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum). The bowl filled with the sugar snap peas is a BIG bowl.

The first shot here shows Kazuya beside a pile of firewood which we need to get split and under shelter. It also shows that we need to rake the leaves. The second shot shows a volunteer sunflower, which grew from seeds dropped by the birds near the bird feeder. The third shot was taken looking up our driveway.

Here are the sugar snap pea plants from which we harvested peas several times during the summer, and finally, the large bowl shown above. The fence they are climbing on is four feet tall.

Now we are done walking around our own land and are taking a walk up the road. These three shots all show autumn color in the Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium aka Chamerion angustifolium).

It wasn't only the fireweed where the autumn colors were good. These shots show that the birch and aspen is also beautiful. The third shot is a zoomed-in shot of the same area as is shown in the second shot.
