Today in the meadow

The Boltonia meadow is reaching its prime.

The honey bees have discovered the Boltonia.

This female sachem was enjoying it also.

Flying overhead was this turkey vulture.
I counted 14 mantids in the wild senna meadow.  There may also be some in the Boltonia, but I could not find them because it is too dense and too tall.  

The goldenrod is beginning to bloom in the back meadow
