Michaelmas Daisy

Aster novi-belgii also known as New York Aster or Michaelmas Daisy basking in the sun in the conservatory. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

There were harsh shadows as the sun was beating down relentlessly. Diffused light would’ve been nice. Thankfully, a stop of underexposure applied here had helped keep highlights from clipping and also retained the colours. Shadows were also lifted a tad in post.

Bianca: You’re new, yeah? Alex: Yeah! Madison: Home schooled too? Alex: Kinda. Madison: Already on the back foot then. Alex: What? Bianca: What she means is, you should be careful who you hang out with. Penny: Being a loser is contagious, y’know? [Alex pulled a face, biting her tongue as she backed away from who she could only assume were the “cool girls”]

…

Alex: I think those girls were making fun of me, or you… [Robin offered Alex a reassuring smile as he delved into his pocket, retrieving his phone] TEXT: They’re pretty good at that, just ignore ‘em. Alex: Do they bully you? TEXT: They try to, but I don’t really care. Alex: Are you just saying that? TEXT: Maybe you should try n’ make some other friends now you have the chance, you’ll just get branded a weirdo if you hang out with me all the time. [Robin squinted as Alex shook her head] Alex: Pfft, maybe I don’t want to be friends with anyone who thinks you’re weird. [Robin grinned, typing silently for a moment] TEXT: Guess you’re already a loser for being new and home schooled anyway, huh? Alex: Exactly! We may as well be odd together-.. y’know, I always thought movies n’ stuff exaggerated how much drama there’d be at high school but now I’m not so sure. [Robin snickered as Alex huffed; if only she knew…]

…

Aster: It’s like they know each other already. Levi: So? Aster: Do you think they’re together or something? Levi: Why’re you asking me? Harry: Awh, does Aster have a crush on the new girl? Titus: Want me to get her number for you? Aster: No. Harry: Wouldn’t mind it for myself, to be honest. Titus: It’s a good job Mads ain’t listening.

Monarch on White Aster.

This is the last major flower to bloom in this part of the Midwest and signifies the last spark of summer.

There were harsh shadows as the lighting was beating down relentlessly. Diffused light would’ve been our preferred choice for flora photography. Thankfully, a stop of underexposure applied here had helped keep highlights from clipping and retained the colours.

White Heath Aster starts to bloom now. Bees busily harvest its pollen.

But there is a melancholy to this flower. It's one of the very last things which bloom in the Midwest.

Soon, everything in the forest will start to die and nothing new will come until the spring.
