Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
In the middle of November, I did a post entitled: “Falls Last Gasp“. It seems I was wrong as can be seen in these pictures, taken at the end of November. It’s now December 21 and I think I can now say with some confidence that these represent “Falls Last Gasp”.

During one of my recent walks, I came across these colorful leaves, the first with very bright, saturated colors and the second rather subdued. Most of the Autumn leaves around here have already fallen. These were among the relatively few the remained.

I went for a walk in the woods the other day and came across this wonderful, gnarly tree. I also liked the way it was framed by the trees on the left and the right.

This human looking tree first caught my attention several years ago. I’ve been taking pictures of it since then. Every year I go out expecting the tree to have come down, or at least some of the branches. But, it’s still hanging in.

This is the unusual looking fruit of a shrub technically known as Gomphocarpus physocarpus. In addition to “Balloon Milkweed”, other common names include balloon wild cotton and hairy balls (I was so tempted to use this in the title). All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested.
