On the mountainous winding drive down into the town of Borrego Springs the hillsides were just a blaze of yellow. The tall cane like plants Ocotillo were blooming with their flaming red tips and Indian Paint Brush scattered to break up the color. It was a spectacular show of Mother Nature on display.....
Euphorbia acanthothamnos is a Greek and Aegean endemic plant growing from sea level to over 2000m. A spiny cushion-like shrub which flowers from March to June. It grows mainly in limestone areas. Its name means "thorny bush" in Greek which is a very accurate description.

Branches and shadows conspire to make an interesting composition on my late afternoons's hike by the East Portal, Colorado!
The bush.
It grows on the rocks which makes it an odd location to grow as there is minimal soil to allow growth.

I've admired this wild bush for a long time because of it's bright red stalks, especially in winter. The stalks together with the green leaves look great and now it has a flower burst of many small florets that adds the finishing touch on a pretty bush. Now..... what is it called? I have no idea.
My front garden has this amazing shrub on display for Autumn with lots of red berries for the birds to enjoy this Winter!
I think this is a Mexican Bush katydid nymph. It's on a pansy petal. Taken with Minolta Bellows Rokkor 100mm lens at f11. Handheld!
The Thick-Tailed Bush-baby is a small, tree-dwelling primate, with child-like cries, and is active by night. They are capable of leaps of remarkable distance between trees. At dusk groups disperse to feed alone while foraging for insects.
To witness this, is a privilege, not shared by many.

Many thanks for the faves, comments and awards. Always appreciated.
I went for a walk in Williamson Park and must have fallen through a wormhole; I found myself deep in the bush again. What joy!
Elephant bush blossoms. Succulent. Extremely tiny 1/4" circumference per blossom. VERY rare for this plant to bloom.

My autumn experience isn't complete until I behold the fiery, crimson leaves of the Burning Bush. So named because of intense red color that you see here, and which covers the whole bush in the fall.
These four leaves were lined up perfectly and I knew I had found the image I was looking for!
Their berries/seeds are also intensely red and can be seen in the background above the leaves.
"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today." (Dale Carnegie)

▶ "Euonymus alatus — commonly known as winged spindle, winged euonymus, or burning bush— is a species of deciduous flowering shrub in the bittersweet family (Celastraceae), native to central and northern China, Japan, and Korea. It is a popular ornamental plant in gardens and parks due to its bright pink or orange fruit and attractive bright red fall foliage. The flowers are greenish, borne over a long period in the spring.
Euonymus alatus is not native to North America, introduced to the United States in the 1860s. Its range now extends from New England south to northern Florida and the Gulf Coast, where, in the wild, it is considered invasive."
