On the fall equinox, one of our purple cone flowers reminds us of warmer days and of cooler days to come.

It’s really hard to get a really sharp photo of a spider while it’s eating and while the wind is blowing. Nate and I worked on this for a while, and we got a few. I set up the camera and he pushed the shutter button. What a team! (This is the same spider as the photo I posted the other day, except this was taken the day after the first.)
