Blazing Star is a rare, fire-dependent, and spectacular plant of forest openings in New England, with a remnant population on the Kennebunk Plains. This was a particularly good year for them, especially in areas of the Plains that were part of the controlled burns of the year before. Come fall and all that is left is the seed heads, which are themselves somewhat spectacular.

The leaves are turning. The leaves are falling. It is that time of year again. I found this leaf, fallen in just the right spot to catch some late afternoon sun shining through, along the shore of Old Falls Pond between Kennebunk and Sanford Maine. It was curled to stand just so…and I put the camera on macro mode and placed it practically on the ground for the shot.
