Some things I find while out walking are perfectly expected. For example, these berries on a bush. Perhaps a bit less expected if the variation in color of the leaves on the same bush. Orange on one side and some combination of red and green producing a rich brown on the other.
But other finds are less expected. This rose was not what I anticipated this late in the season.
On D Avenue there are a couple of beautyberry bushes in full berriness. There have remarkably purple berries on them. This one has caught a red leave from a nearby maple tree to add to the color palette along with a bright yellow leaf from somewhere else.
Mostly there are no surprises. I certainly expected to find mushrooms. This is a large one out by the high school.
Dead leaves on moss is, however, a very common sight around here. I don't know why but it conjures a vision in my mind of sleeping bags for fairies to lie on the moss at night.
