About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Back to August...

Back in August is a good time to look at some flowers ;) Yes, let's make another trip back in time and admire the August flowers...

 
In fact, there are not as many new flowers popup in August. Most of them have already withered and disappeared, leaving nothing behind... or some seeds on the plumage to help them to find a new place to grow next year.


But... some of the flowers are still blooming (probably they just guessed at the time when bees and butterflies have less attractive targets and won't miss those brave enough to wait until the end of the summer to come out...


Just a reminder - the fall is coming! Time to dry out and hide the beauty until next year.


Surprisingly, not only the flowers are just opening, but also some of the leaves. Honestly, I've never looked close enough to see them, but this time I found some fresh greenery just on the side of the trail. Interesting...


There are still plenty of sunflowers and they catch sunlight and return it back in the form of bright flowers...


The milkweed is ready to seed and is opening its seed pods. Small seeds, but long tails ... Hmm... are they tails or feathers? Anyway, there are a lot of them flying around in the air in August and... it just means next year we will have a lot of milkweed growing far from the current flowers ;)



Small and blue... simple and very attractive... These will bloom for a long time... all fall... until the snow hides them until spring time...





Never learnt the name of this tree... Love the small yellow fragrant flowers that cover its branches in June and the small berries that fall from them in August. Probably I need to look it up, what do you think?



Pinecones... flowers... seeds... August brings more varieties than any other month... but less colors...
