River grass: eel grass
As the flooded river calms and drains to a lower level I have first look at this season’s river grass, or more specifically, eel grass. Summer river grass includes many varieties. They are just as beautiful in the fall when like the leaves they turn yellow and brown until they disappear.

Mountain laurel
This is the first year I’ve seen this tree bloom. It’s almost against the pilings under the old factory. it grows beside the white great laurel I’ve photographed for a few seasons.

A stump
This looks like an old stump by the river and right now it is only that. Last spring I was lucky to see a black capped chickadee moving into this stump. I’m still hoping it will become the site of a bird’s nest.

Multiflora rose
Two small patches of flowers behind an old building. When I see flowers in an abandoned area I admire their toughness in this careless world.

Common reed
Found a nice patch of reeds between two businesses. If I just pay attention to what’s around me I find places like this.

Peony
Waited two days for the weather to get a bit warmer so this flower would open a little. It had shut tightly Friday as the weather chilled. Welcome to New England, peony.
