There is not much left of summer at Ginty Creek.  The upper pond is mostly dry.

I walked across it and found a few populations of water crowfoot.

Occasional isolated asters still prevailed.

And nearby were a couple of paintbrushes.

An aspen leaf presented an interesting abstract.

In places the colour had gone from the vegetation.  The spiked goldenrod in front has just finished flowering; the clump behind has already lost its seed.

The variable willow is covered in cottony balls.

And the star-flowered solomon seal has turned white.
