Summer asters in bloom – Nikon D500, f7.1, 1/2500, ISO 640, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
The flowers of fall have started to bloom. I don’t know which species of asters are in these photos that I took at Farmington Bay. They might even be fleabanes which are still in the aster family. Asters are a species of wildflower I expect to see as fall arrives.
Temps are finally dropping, days are shorter, and autumn is on the way.

This summer has been miserable and one with record high temps. Not just now and then, but for days on end. We had 34 days over 100°F and a stretch of them for 9 days in a row in September. The 34 days that were over 100°F shattered the old record of 21 days for the year.
Plus it has been dry. In some areas, I have never seen it dryer since I moved here in 2009. It has been a miserable summer here in northern Utah.
I am not sad to see the end of this summer. I’m over it. Instead, I am looking forward to feeling chilled along with finding and celebrating the birds of fall and winter.
Yes. The summer of 2022 can kiss my asters.
Life is good.

My favorite blog title, EVER!
I feel for you about your summer. And hope that autumn is cool and damp.
Yes it has been a warm season in Northern Wyoming too. I just don’t like the cool fall temps or the snow and cold to follow. I live in the wrong area!! Not. Any way the flowers are pretty. I would guess some birds will be flying in to your area soon. Have a great day Mia.
Couldn’t agree more! But .. those are lovely flowers!!
