It's starting to feel like fall. Longer shadows. Cooler nights. A red leaf or two.

A couple of red, lobed, red maple leaves have fallen among the green green leaves of a jasmine shrub. The color contrast is striking. The red is vibrant. There are a few yellowing, oval jasmine leaves in the mass.

Roots! Clinging desperately to the side of the hill! Or casually exploring the environs.

An image of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) roots growing on the side of a hill. The roots are gradually being exposed by weathering, and look a bit as if they are clinging for dear life. Doug firs are notoriously shallow rooted and are the most likely trees to fall in windy rainstorms

A young Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a mass of surface roots casually exploring the ground, with ferns, dewberries and small plants growing on top.

I was testing a blackberry, along came a spider and jumped out beside me

A few blackberries, mostly ripe, peek out from behind their serrate leaves. The leaves are still green, but are fading to autumnal yellows. The blackberries look good, with light reflecting off their glossy druplet

A common garden spider, with her pretty brown and tan decorative abdomen, and fierce hairy legs, lurks in her web. She has just leaped out from behind some leaves, alerted by my berry picking. Alas, I am too large to be useful prey.
