Two takes on goldeneye

  

After I saw frost on my neighbor’s roof the morning of November 13th I hied me down to Great Hills Park hoping for some pictures of frost-bedecked native plants. Though I found no frost at all there, some of the plants I photographed did have water droplets on them. One was the goldeneye (Viguiera dentata) you see above. And look how a spider had folded the ray florets of another goldeneye flower head:

 

  

Now it’s three weeks later and some goldeneye flowers are still making their presence known in Austin.

 

Today’s pictures continue the “golden yellow” theme of recent posts
about New Mexico. That state will be back next time.
