A milkweed seed pod has burst and is ready to disperse its seeds into the wind. While taking this photograph, two migrating monarchs flew past as if to check out this patch of plants.
Milkweed: biodiversity in miniature
Fall is here, and the resounding echo of acorns bouncing off the roof reminds me that it is the time when most plants are entering the final stage of reproduction before winter arrives. One of these plants that I came across recently was some milkweed on a roadside in Shohola, PA.
You will be hard pressed to find any dull spots in the new book titled, “The Legendary Neversink,” edited by Justin Askins. It is an anthology of writing by those who have fished this famous trout stream. A number of my favorite authors have a chapter or two in this tome. Mr. Theodore Gordon, Sparse Grey Hackle (aka Alfred W. Miller), Jack Atherton and Albert Jules McClane. Those not mentioned above are no slouches either.
