Last Walk in September

As September transitions into October the weather is changing from sunny and warm to rainy and cool.

Let's take advantage of one of the last nice days for a while and take a walk.

Many of the wildflowers, like the thistles have set seed and are done for the year. September and October are months of plenty - lots of ripe seeds and berries and fruits.

Baneberries

False Solomon's Seal

There are still quiet pools of water in the Big Creek.  

They will grow and be refreshed with the coming rains.

Rosehips

Snowberries

Honeysuckle fruit.

Hawthornes - the Cedar Waxwings swarm the trees when the fruit is ripe. 

Honeysuckle

Blackberries.

There's still lots for everyone - bunnies, chipmunks, deer, and birds to eat!

 And with rain comes rainbows! We recently had a lovely one.
