September Sweet Everlasting . . . (Pseudognaphalium-obtusifolium) Autumn in North America.

Here you see that sometimes the beauty in small things
is revealed to us only on miserably cold, cloudy days.
Thoreau used to say that he liked rainy days because
they helped him give needed attention to the mosses
and lichens. How right he was!

The image is of the beautiful Fall Equinox flower,
the Sweet Everlasting, or, with the common name I
like most, the Cats Foot.

There I was, looking for Ladies' Tresses (an orchid)
on all fours when I bumped into these. Put there by
a clear-eyed goddess, I suppose.
