A few stills of the end of one season and the beginning of another, as autumn chill, wind and rain makes its presence felt, and summer fades…

Thorny flower

A pretty fecund flower, a little ripe, and baroque.

A yellow, fuzzy jacket. This poor fella is the last of his breed, this year. The cold air had him going slowly, and posing for any shot I took.

Ant friend joins the pollen party.

Bee and ant party

Squirrel!

Clucking squirrel (he was clucking, and calling, and yelling about something!)
