PHOTOPAGE 352

   

   

 

Late September 2007

I haven't gone far this month of September from my original project's starting point in the park this month. The little spillway area near the entrance bridge that has been full of Goldenrod and Foxtails and Sneezeweed. It's my area of first discovery and always produces satisfaction for me.

Originally, I identified the insect on the right as a Sawfly - My deepest apologies to the Scoliid family. The Goldenrod is abuzz.

Below (v) - I first suspected vandalism when I noticed a dozen or so of the Hindu deity, Ganesh dumped in the Canal. But, no - the Internet informed me that it's a ritual immersion of the god. . . hmmmm

So, anyway, I had to smile, but I did think that the river was probably a better place for the immersion since the Canal is a source of drinking water.
