Today's photo is a wild New England Aster. These flowers range in color from shades of blue, purple and lavender to pink with shades of purple and blue being the most common in my area. I found this gorgeous pink specimen along the roadside last summer.

Asters blanket roadsides and ditches with bright color in late summer and early fall and provide an important source of nectar for bees and migrating butterflies. They are typically abuzz with insect activity.

Beautiful photo, I saw a number of these in the new National Monument this past weekend in Maine. I do colored pencil drawings and was wondering if I could have permission to use the photo as a reference. If you say no I’ll understand. Thanks John
