Happy Autumn Equinox! (one day late)
This is the time of year I feel slow, so my posting for the Autumnal Equinox is a day late.

Of course, I don't care for my pictures from today that much either, so I'm just left with a late post with not so good pictures!

I had never noticed it before this year. I looked it up, and I think it is Devil's Beggar's Ticks (Bidens vulgata or Bidens frondosa). It produces some nasty burs in the fall, and I certainly have gotten lots of those on my clothes in the fall! I was glad to solve the mystery of those sticky seeds because every year I did wonder what plant produced them.
