Some of the bright fall colors still remain…but not too many

In the Woods – Trees
Bird overhead
This bird was circling overhead throughout my recent walk. Of course, since I was doing macro photography, I didn’t have a suitable lens to do it justice. Still, nothing ventured nothing gained… On one pass it came closer so gave it a go. Not much to write home about. I’m even unsure what kind of bird it is, although I suspect it might be vulture, maybe a black vulture. I guess there must have been something edible in the vicinity. I hope it wasn’t me. 🙂

Help Needed!
I came across this the other day and found it interesting. However, I haven’t a clue what it is. Can anybody help?
UPDATE: a friend told me the following:
Milkweed! Has a very distinctive smell, and those little feathery things burst forth and fly with the seeds. And they are essential for Monarch butterflies. Apparently toxic to some other things. But I remember them so clearly from my New Hampshire childhood, also the milky smell. We do not have them here in Switzerland. The smell of it came back to me in a very Proustian manner!

And now for something completely different

A Wasp
Wasps usually move around very quickly, and I find it pretty much impossible to get a shot of them. For some reason this one just stood there looking at me for a quite a long time, so I was able to get up close with my macro lens.
