I was in Minnesota over labor day Weekend.  On Monday I was in Hawley Minnesota and in the evening there was quite the rainstorm/thunderstorm.  Afterwards there was a beautiful double rainbow.  I shot this with my phone under the eve of the house just out of the wind and rain.

Friday's are Bokehlicious!  Here is a lovely Echinacea or Cone Flower from my garden a while back with some lovely bubble bokeh for a background.

Sunflowers are popular for all types of insects.  In this image I was able to capture a Bumblebee enjoying one of the blooms.  Right now the wild Sawtooth Sunflowers are blooming.

It's Wildflower Wednesday n the Blog and today's flower is Clammy ground Cherry.  They have a nice yellow drooping flower and then develop these paper lantern like, seed pods.  You can see both in this image and it is also a new one for me to photograph this year.  
Don't forget, I have pages on the Blog with Wildflowers by color to help ID some of the more commonly seen ones and even some rare ones.

The Ironweed was quite popular this year.  Soon the Autumn Sedum will bloom and that is a popular one too.  I saw my first Clearwing Moth of the year taking in the blooms about a week ago now.

I like flower images in this style.  I had been doing my mini Hostas like this and thought I would try it out on another type of flower.  This is an Obedient Plant bloom.  They have just started to open.  I find the name quite funny as they are not obedient at all and spread like crazy.

Wow, it is September already.  The year is flying by, soon it will be autumn and cold weather.  Sigh.  I have been sharing images of a huge locomotive.  Going the other direction this week and sharing a much smaller one.  This is a friend of mine running one of the Ottaway steam locomotives at the railroad i play at outside Topeka Kansas.
