As another busy week looms, I'm hesitant to post anything long-winded, so instead I shall show you all the wonderful colors of peak fall here in New Jersey.
 |
| A Cabbage White (Pieris rapae) rests on a burdock in New Hope, PA. |
 |
| Another Cabbage White resting on an aster (presumed). |
 |
| Unless a sweetgum has gone all fancy, I suppose this might be a Japanese Maple. |
 |
| A male flicker rests in the red bush outside the window. |
 |
| Leaves litter the ground as if sowing the comforter for the coming frosts and snow that would hope to comfort the ground in the coldest part of the year. Little though they are, it is their numbers that ultimately make the difference and transform the fall ground into a mosaic of fading color and stamped texture. |
 |
| Adding almost a christmasy feel to the lawn behind the house, the Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) seed pods resemble green beans and are, in fact, related to legumes such as peas, peanuts, and snap beans. |
 |
| Transitions from the bounty of summer, to the hoarding of fall. |
 |
| You know winter is coming, when crows gather in the treetops, eager to survive winter's chill by entertaining in the wings of their brothers and sisters and sharing the world's bounty at their feet. |
