my front door... I don't put out pumpkins for fall anymore...
I got tired of watching them shrivel in the sun, then rot...
this I can store away and use again...
though I did buy these this year...
the ones that I had... had disintegrated...
this plant is still blooming...
the first frost should finish it off...
the birds have a bounty of berries...
these on a nandina plant, are a favorite...
this worm is done harvesting flower petals...
the sticky red fruit of the "mock orange"must be tasty...
because the birds flock to them...
[as well as an ant, if you look closely...]
I believe that this is "Oregon grape"...
even the newest growth will go dormant when faced with winter...
a single creeper berry...they taste sweet and "prune-y"...
[I was a little kid when I tasted them...]
that could be why the birds love them...
all is safely gathered in...
now... let the winter storms begin...
