Fireweed, Our Summer Calendar. (Autumn Soon). We arrived at The Lake for the first time on August 1, 2016. The next few days were devoted to unpacking. Most of the Fireweed blossoms had become the thin reddish-green seed pods you see below the last of the flowers clinging to the tops of stalks. August 5 when I made this, our first photograph at The Lake. Autumn soon.
