Diffusing light and misty fog rise through the valley like a blanket quietly covering the landscape. The forest will change from green to black and eventually the sky colors will give way to moon and stars.

These flowering plants are in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, native to North and South America. The blooms are 4-6" wide and 1-2 ft tall. Their common name may refer to the resemblance of the inflorescence to the brightly patterned blankets made by Native Americans.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments!

Red is the color of December

Gaillardia pulchella — Blooms April to June across much of Texas. When viewed en masse, the brilliant combination of red, orange, and yellow resembles brightly woven blanket, hence the name. Also called firewheel. Saw this growing in the Houston Arboretum.

Gaillardia soon to bloom seen at nearby nursery - where I

always bring my camera!

Winter arrived.

Snow blankets the hardwood forest in central Vermont at the end of November.

early morning from Hazelbrook Station to Sydney

Always strange to see snow on a beach. Even more curious the dead marsh grass, snow and rocks under a wintry sky.
