Out of sight. Rarely passed. Worried and worn and flailed by the wind and rain of middle Ireland. Fading.
For about 4-5 weeks at the end of each year, the center of New Zealand's South Island bursts into color. Purple and pink and blue and yellow lupins sprout up along lake sides and in riverbeds in Mackenzie Country, making the already-stunning views even more incredible.
Lupins are not native to New Zealand – in fact, they're classified as an invasive species – but there's no denying that they are beautiful and make for a great photo backdrop.
Autumn, also known as fall in North American English, is one of the four temperate seasons on Earth. Outside the tropics, autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere). Autumn is the season when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably. Day length decreases and night length increases as the season progresses until the winter solstice in December (Northern Hemisphere) and June (Southern Hemisphere). One of its main features in temperate climates is the striking change in colour for the leaves of deciduous trees as they prepare to shed.
A California Scrub-Jay pauses amid a patch of clover flowers. Known for their striking blue feathers and sharp intelligence, these bold birds are common sights in California’s open spaces and backyards.

A ruby-crowned kinglet (usually found in northern North America) was far south for the winter.

▶ Rejection:
On 22 March 2025, the administrator for the Flickr group "GEORGIA, THE PEACH STATE" rejected this photo for NOT displaying "scenic beauty of the State of Georgia, USA." Denying the kinglet its migratory presence in the state is gaslighting nonsense.

📷 Photographer's notes:
☞ Thank you to Flickr-er Bárbol who confirmed my guess that this handsome fellow was indeed a ruby-crowned kinglet.
☞ However, there appears to be some dispute about its taxonomy. Whereas Bárbol — and my 2008 edition of the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of Eastern North America— classifies the species as Regulus calendula, the American Ornithological Society has reclassified it as Corthylio calendula... as of 2021.
☞ The quotation (at the top of the caption) is a line from the Prologue to 14th-century English poet Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. Translated from Middle English to modern English, it reads: "And many little birds make melody."

Ileodictyon cibarium is a saprotrophic species of fungus in the family Phallaceae. It is native to Australia and New Zealand, where it is commonly known as the basket fungus or the white basket fungus, alluding to its fruit bodies, shaped like a round or oval ball with interlaced or latticed branches, resembling polyhedra similar to closed fullerenes
