Cape Fear

Some scenes from Cape Fear Point on Bald Head Island

Almost Gone!

While the leaves are turning red, yellow, orange and gold, there are still some hangers-on blooming in the meadow. There were also some drgonflies and butterflies, but they did not want to pose for the camera.

Coreopsis. This has been blooming since June!

I will be back in time to see the ghosts and goblins on Saturday.

Bidens Meadow

The front meadow has many goldfinches eating the seed of the Bidens. If you want to collect any seed, now is the time. The Bidens is an annual, and much will probably come up again next year.

This one looks good.

I can count 8 finches in this tree, that flew up from the meadow.

Here is the green stuff that is growing under the annual Bidens, and this will be our meadow next year. Along with some Bidens, if the goldfinches do not eat all the seed.

Oh Deer!

Deer damage to a tree trunk near the P&R parking lot. The bucks rub their antlers on the trunk and can kill a tree this way.

On the Maris Trail, a deer exclosure to keep the deer from eating good plants.

There's p;enty of Jet Bead - deer don't eat it, nor do the birds eat the berries, nor the insects the leaves.

Some pretty fall leaves

Progress at Foulkeways

Up near the post office parking lot they were drilling new geo-thermal wells as the W sections will now be outfitted with geo-thermal.

At the other end of the campus the WVWA was here with surveyers to map high and low areas in the area that will someday be a natural wetland on campus.

Seasonal Scenes

Here are the sweetgum trees that line the drive to Central.
