Goldenrod and New England Aster

I may be contending for Worst Wildflower Photographer, but I still thought I'd post the pictures I took of the goldenrod and purple flowers that I saw on my 3-mile run. They really do look beautiful together and my pictures don't convey this at all.

Here they are together:


Here's the goldenrod by itself:


And here are the purple flowers by themselves:


Based on these feeble pictures, I am going to say that the goldenrod is Canada Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) and that the purple flowers are New England Asters (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae). (See here and here for New England Aster pictures and descriptions. See here and here for Canada Goldenrod pictures.)

I don't feel so sure about the Goldenrod now. Maybe I'll ask Craig Cramer from Cornell for some identification help.
