The asters bloom in September and to me, they are really worth waiting for. The red flower is a blooming bulb called "British Soldier." We need lots more of these.

Though the rainfall doesn't show up in this photo, it is pouring out. What you can see is that the normally dry ditch out in the woods is full and flowing.

This poem by Edwin Morgan is an interesting example of "concrete poetry" which conveys much of its meaning by its very appearance on the page. Do you think meaning is expressed by the scattered letters in "Message Clear"? And if so, what is that meaning?  (You will probably have to enlarge this in order to read it:  Hit "All Sizes" on the Flickr version of it.)
