Sticky sage (Salvia glutinosa). This is not a native plant to Quebec, but seems to have established itself 'wild" in one very small patch of ground here, on the site of an old mansion that burned down in the 1940s. I imagine these are the descendants of plants from the garden of the mansion that have survived untended for over seventy years. It has a very strong, quite pleasant, citrus perfume.

Tradescantia or spiderwort. In the summer the flowers close around noon, but later in the year, or whenever the sun is less intense, they stay open all day.
(The Tradescantia family of flowers is named after John Tradescant, the keeper of Gardens, Vines and Silkworms for king Charles I - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tradescant_the_Elder) .

Anarchist "Zone d'Autonomie Temporaire."
After the Climate March protest (Montreal Sept 27th). As the sun began to sink the anarchists got together to cover their faces with bandanas, make some noise, breath fire, and, in general, anarchize.

"This is the Lorax/ He cares for the trees/ Stop F--ing the planet/ And killing the bees."
From the Climate March Montreal 27th Sept when Greta Thurnberg visited town. About 500,000 people turned out. I wasn’t there (on account of the “toad” called work) but passed by later to see the aftermath.

("All Progress in Agriculture is progress in the art of not only robbing the labourer but robbing the soil- Marx")

The cranberry harvest with the first of the autumn foliage. The fields are flooded to float off the red berries ready to collect (easier than climbing a tree); photographed at Cranberry Festival, St Louis de Blandford, Quebec.

This spiky pipe-cleaner of a caterpillar will become a milkweed tussock moth. It's not easy to tell which end is front and which is the back.
