Low bush blueberries - the whole plant is about an inch or two tall, and the berries are very small, but absolutely delicious. I took this shot at the end of August off the trail to Echo Lake under the powerlines. Once Meg discovered what I was doing it was a race to pick them. As she didn't have to bother with hands I think she won by practically sucking the berries off the plants.
I think this was straight from the camera, but I have long since forgotten.

A frosty, single-seeded dandelion. These pictures look odd now, as there is several inches of snow outside, but at the time I was kind of excited by the frost in early September. The back-lighting made this shot interesting - I like how it illuminates the fluff of the seed so dramatically compared to the shady background. The other stuff around it is alfalfa from one of the many hay fields around my house.
