More Information

This image depicts two of summer’s later blooms, rich magenta ironweed and frilly Queen Anne’s lace. The Cuyahoga Valley often experiences foggy mornings when the higher lands around are sunny, a result of the interaction between the river and air temperatures. As the fog burns off, pollinating insects start to busy themselves on the blooms. A patient and early visitor to this field would experience the cool quiet of the foggy morning turning into a warm late summer day filled with the hum of insects.
