President Obama is on holiday this week at Martha's Vineyard, members of Congress are on their August recess, and many are headed to the mountains or beach. But some students are already preparing for the school year, and the plant world takes no holiday. Some plants are just now joining the color parade. Sunflowers line the highways, along with skyrocket gilia and assorted penstemons, and gaillardia. Everyone who is growing greens and lettuce knows that this is their season in the high country.
So kudos this week to the miracle of nature and the edibles that seemingly pop out of the ground to nourish us and add beauty to the world.

Mighty tempting images of fresh and tasty morsels of goodness, Daryl. I'm liking the still lifes you're producing.
