Good morning ☕️
It’s definitely felt like autumn is in the air this week, and here’s a sight I’m definitely looking forward to seeing again next summertime, pretty purple Loosestrife along the lakeside a couple of weeks ago. Happy Friday everyone! 🌿💜🌿

These are beautiful flowers, but they're dangerous to the local ecology.

I don't always find noxious weeds just commuting around, but when I do I report them! #eddmaps #noxiousweeds #purpleloosestrife
