At home in Maine...
Dear friends,
Family will soon be arriving and I have lots of cooking to do! I'll be back after the weekend....and when the dishes are done 😳
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and safe travels!
🍗🍜
It was just before the leaves began to fall and the berries were the brightest red and the leaves had character. At least I liked to think of it as character as opposed to age spots! :-)
I've deliberately kept most of the picture dark because these berries were in the forest and seemed almost hidden away like treasure to be found.

I'm not particularly fond of asparagus. I don't like it's taste, texture or fragrant reminder the next morning.
This is Wild Asparagus in the autumn, when its feathery stems become a blazing yellow, and its sparse red berries stand out amid the yellow. If one can remember its location in the ditch or field, then one can look for it in the springtime when the new shoots will look more like the supermarket asparagus. "This one" will look for it, but only for a picture :-)
Northern Ash berries that haven't yet been picked over by the birds.

Hello There!
Earlier this summer, I spotted a hedge that was loaded with these ripening berries. I recently returned to the site and the berries have disappeared. My guess is that the birds gobbled them up.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do appreciate hearing from you! Have a terrific day and weekend ahead!

I wish all my Flickr friends a wonderful Festive Season and a Happy Healthy 2022! Thank you for all your kind comments throughout the year!
Hello there,
These berries are adored by many birds, especially Bohemian Waxwings. It's definitely the right time of year to begin looking out for these migratory berry pickers. I took this image while on a recent neighbourhood walk.

It's another Cedar Waxwing shot following the one that I posted a couple of days ago. There was a large flock of them on a tree with lots of red berries.
According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: "The Cedar Waxwing is one of the few North American birds that specializes in eating fruit. It can survive on fruit alone for several months...Because they eat so much fruit, Cedar Waxwings occasionally become intoxicated or even die when they run across overripe berries that have started to ferment and produce alcohol."
That's new to me, but a couple of folks who commented on my earlier shot confirmed that they've seen drunken birds fall out of trees. It didn't happen on this day though, at least not that I saw. :-)
Red currants are my favorite fruit models, photogenic, always patient and oh so tasty!
Thank you for taking time to view, fave and or comment my work, I appreciate it a lot.

Capitol Peak, Palo Duro Canyon Texas State Park
One could do an entire Geology lesson from this photo alone. But for those who don't hold as much interest in the field as I do, I'll spare you the details other than to say this is Capitol Peak at Palo Duro Texas State Park, viewed from the East. The reddish rock layers are primarily sandstone created in different eras of geologic time, with high amounts of minerals made up of iron and oxygen. The odd pillar on the left is a hoodoo, a common feature created by differential erosion in badlands but rare in other landscapes.
Palo Duro was a real surprise for me, as I was just passing through Amarillo and had some spare time. It's well worth the visit if you are ever in the Texas Panhandle. Another view of Capitol Peak from the Northwest is here at this link.

If snow melts down to water, does it still remember being snow?
Many thanks to all who takes the time to view, comment and fave my pictures!
Red fruits of the Rugose rose (Rosa rugosa) dusted by overnight snowfall. Rosa rugosa is native to eastern Asian countries. This prickly bush is widely used as ornamental plant in the UK and Europe but considered as an invasive plant in many places. It has many other common names such as Beach rose, Japanese rose, Ramanas rose and others. The epithet “rugosa” means “wrinkled” in Latin and refers to plant leaves (www.flickr.com/photos/sergeysmirnov/52217627356/). Taken during a short trip to the local wood on Sunday morning after the first overnight snowfall. Snowfall was light and not as bad as in some other areas in the country. Primrose Hill Community Woodland. Bath, BANES, England, UK.
Hello there,
These bright red berries are a major hit for several bird species, especially Cedar Waxwings. In fact, I went back to this small tree a week or two after this shot and I heard waxwings. I waited and waited, but I realized that they were feeding at the back side of the tree for which I had no access. I came back the next day and most of the berries were gone (and so were the Cedar Waxwings).
Red elderberry trees are quite hardy and can be found in the wild or planted in home gardens/properties. They grow to about 8-15 feet tall. If the birds don't get to them first, the berries can be used to make wine or jelly.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. Have a lovely day!

We visited RSPB Saltholme yesterday and in the car park there was a small flock of Waxwing feeding on red berries. I don't know what type of bush it was. I couldn't resist getting a few more photos of these little beauties! The dull conditions lately are certainly testing out my camera's ISO capabilities!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
