Broadmoor bursting with yellow

Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary in South Natick is looking mighty colorful even before the fall foliage kicks in.

Thanks to Denny Nackoney for sharing these photos, which he says were identified during a nature walk as water marigolds. The photos were taken from the wooded boardwalk across the stream and wetlands.

“Best guess is that because of current drought, high temps, and the stream’s low water level, it was just the right conditions for them to take off.  What a spectacular sight!” he wrote.
