October 2002 scenes:
Sumac is a one of the early shrubs to appear in our grassland succession.
It begins to turn color early, but
this year seemed to hold onto color well into October.(Photo by Henry Domke

Monarch butterflies pause in flight to feed on asters in September.
View from the air in October 2002 looking north. The 1.4 acre planting is in
the front, with part of the shallow
ponds to the right, the 1986 planting to the north and the some of the 5-acre
planting in the upper right corner.
The brown area on the left was planted a year ago.
