Seen around the scene

In response to my recent invitation to Rivertalk readers to submit photos of what they’ve observed in their backyards, Lori Rubinstein-Fleck of Wurtsboro, NY shared these photos of fawns and an American painted lady butterfly.

Emerald ash borers and Asian longhorned beetles have been spotted, too, in the form of temporary tattoos, on the arms of several shoppers who attended the first Harvest Festival at Bethel Woods recently. The Sunday markets continue through October 12.

“By all these lovely tokens

September days are here,

With summer’s best of weather

And autumn’s best of cheer.”

— Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885

Fruit droops and plummets in the cool morning air of September. Deer browse beneath apple trees, drawn by sweet scent. It is an idyllic scene. The abundance of the land is ready for harvest. Many hands are busied preserving nature’s bounty. Gardens offer unexpected rewards, at this time.
