While over at Lake Gregory walking on the trail around the lake I took photos of this plant. Once I looked it up it had a familiar name, one I have heard of before but never knew really what the flower looked like.
Another day is lining up for a beautiful walk - not sure where but this time of year I have to get out every day because in the winter so many days I'm stuck inside.
The rest of the photos are just random scenes around the lake.
Evidently yarrow is a healing plant, wrote of in a story about Achilles.
Achilles was the bravest, handsomest, and greatest warrior of the army of Agamemnon in the Trojan War
"A. millefolium. In Greek myth, there was an herb of such healing renown, the hero Achilles used it to treat the wounds of his men. Today, historians and botanists agree that the herb described in Homer's Iliad was yarrow. Centuries may have passed, but yarrow has lost none of its effectiveness"
Achillea Milliefolium - Yarrow

So Yarrow is the name. I have seen that flower before and never even wondered what it was. But it's a healing plant. Good info! Wonder how one uses it...probably in a drink or something.
I've seen it all over and never knew myself.
The beautiful kiss of autumn.
yes - autumn does have such sweet kisses.

Thank you for visiting and for liking my posts;
Here in Brazil, my wooden house is not seen
with good eyes; are usually for people with few
financial resources, I bring this new proposal that this
type of construction can be a simple lifestyle, but
that brings very positive results to the heart, lol, lol, lol
Good entry in November.
Hugs.
