Part of yesterday's walk on the site of the Battle of Manassas/Bull Run was along a boardwalk constructed over some marshy land around the river.
We embarked on this extra loop in our walk under the (mistaken) impression that the rain was stopping. We got very wet! These unripe but colourful blackberries show just how damp everything was.
Along the way we saw a lot of this yellow plant - it was tall - waist high at least, the yellow flowers had black centres.
I don't know the name of the yellow flowers but this pretty blue flower, complete with raindrop decoration is a cornflower....
(The deep blue or pink summer flowers that we know as cornflowers are known as 'bachelor buttons' here.)
