For #FootpathFriday, here’s the trail between the woods and the Hillside Prairie. I’ve been trying to clean up this path for fall and winter walking.
Yesterday, when I mowed with the tractor, I came across another “low bridge, everybody down!” situation at the bottom of the hill.

Today on the #DailyWalk, I saw ghosts.

On the #DailyWalk, this cheerful flower caught my attention. I’ve identified it as Tickseed Sunflower (Bidens aristosa). Here it’s growing in a dense patch of everybody’s favorite plant — common ragweed. The flower also has the attractive quality of producing little barbed seeds that will stick to your clothing.

On the #DailyWalk, I checked out a few different Swamp Milkweed plants that I had noticed in bloom a few weeks ago.
It looks like deer have chomped the young seedpods. Definitely not good for increasing the number of plants.
On the good side, I found another monarch caterpillar.

On the #DailyWalk, I saw several monarch butterflies -- including two mating pairs. The next generation will be heading south for sure.
This monarch was over by the pond on a horsetail (Equisetum). I think it's the "scouringrush horsetail."

On the #DailyWalk, I spent a few minutes by the pond, where the damselflies and dragonflies cooperated for photos.

2. Damselfly (bluet) male
3. Eastern Amberwing Dragonfly -

On today’s #DailyWalk, I took along the loppers and a handsaw. Part of my trail system goes across an area that’s often too soggy to mow, and that area needed some clearing before I can go through again with the tractor/mower.
Anyway, there’s swamp milkweed in the swampy area 🤔🤠 And on one plant I found a monarch butterfly caterpillar.

Yesterday morning, I mowed the paths that cut across the hayfields. In the afternoon, I walked the same route.
It’s been 6 weeks since the hay was mowed, and the fields now have a lot of red clover and birdsfoot trefoil in blossom — along with a surprise butterfly milkweed.

From yesterday’s #DailyWalk:
Rosinweed (Silphium integrifolium) — probably less known than its famous cousins Cup Plant and Compass Plant.

Another walk over to the pond. If I keep this up, I can revive the #DailyWalk hashtag.
In addition to the wildflowers by the pond and in the Hillside Prairie, I also saw frogs, damsel flies, monarch butterflies, and a great blue heron.
