It is one day before the end of August and there is still plant life coloring up the Tandy Hills. Not a lot of it, but there is still color.Today I saw a delicate looking tiny orchid-like pink wildflower. And the big Purple Bruiser you see in the picture.
I think the Purple Bruiser belongs to the thistle family. It was quite thorny.
A slight bit of rain damped us up a bit a bit before noon. This shot the humidity way up. So, even though it was only in the high 80s, it was one HOT hike today.
When I stopped to take the picture of the Purple Bruiser, it was near the end of my hike time. The act of stopping and getting low to the ground, to take the picture, turned me into a fountain. I'm sure the Purple Bruiser appreciated its second watering of the day. I know I would have.
I am ready for fall to fall. There were signs of the impending hall on the hills today. Leaves in some trees starting to slightly change their color. It is only 22 days til fall.
I am out of here, back out in the HEAT. I've something I need to attend to.
