▶ "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."

"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)
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.

Elephant bush blossoms. Portulacaria afra. Succulent. Extremely tiny. 1/4" circumference per blossom. VERY rare for this plant to bloom.
Full frame. No crop. No post processing. My back porch. Southwest Arizona, USA.
And one last shot in the backyard with the RF800. this is a bush in one of the gardens that I cannot remember the name of. I had hoped it would attract butterflies, but so far I've only seen a few bees.
Etta & a beautiful bright Boronia.
Our bush doesn't generally have bright greens but some of the flowers really stand out. This bright pink end of Winter stunner is Boronia ledifolia, Sydney Boronia.
Daily Dog Challenge: Colourful
Hardenbergia violaceae (Purple Pea) in amongst the wattle flowers. The bush is awash with colour right now. Spring has come early this year.

Eastern Chipmunk.
Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly with 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump and 2 white stripes on back much thinner than side stripes. They have a dark center stripe down the back and pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. The tail is brown on the tip and edged with black. They also have prominent ears.
The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.
They range from southeastern Canada and to the northeastern United States from North Dakota in the west to the Carolinas and Virginia in the east.

Tail end of a trail walk into a clearing by a river, we came upon a bush loaded with tiny butterflies. Google identifies the bush as blue melilot and the butterflies as Woodland Skippers. I say google identified them because if google is wrong then I have nothing to do with it.
The Bush stone-curlew is an Australian species and inhabits open plains and woodlands. Apparently they are mainly nocturnal which explains why they usually don't move much whenever I see them in the aviary at our zoo. :)
Between Mesa, Arizona and Fountain Hills, Arizona lies a vast open space that includes beautiful mountains and the Salt River. If you look to the southeast from the river, you find views like this as the sun rises on the horizon.
I got a new tripod recently and it's opened up new opportunities to show more of the dynamic range of the views I'm seeing on my excursions. What a difference a tripod makes!
There are several varieties of Australian Christmas Bush and all are supposed to flower in December. Mine must have missed out on that instruction, having already turned a corner of the yard red, with masses of red brachts enclosing much smaller white flowers. Another image from my INDUSTAR-22 5cm f3.5 collapsible lens. Wide open and extended. The white flowers are about 1cm across.
Sunday was spent in pursuit of White-letter hairstreaks with Lucy and Steve down on Alners gorse, we saw three or four in the tree tops, sadly that's where they stayed.
With the exception of Gatekeepers and mixed browns, butterfly numbers seemed very low, a few Skippers, Marbled and Large whites, a couple of Silver-washed fritz, Red and White admirals and just one Purple hairstreak.
My 'Bug of the Day', which I originally misidentified as a Bog bush cricket, and then in a state of much excitement as a Grey bush cricket... Was in fact a Dark Bush Cricket !! So not an Orthoptera tick for me... :@[
Common as muck
Immature/late instar or possibly even an adult female, but I've now completely lost interest and shall refer to all crickets in the future as hoppy/jumpy things.
