Nature Notes and Our World Tuesday: November ends

Hard to believe that November is drawing to an end.



I can see signs of fall ending all around me.



I love the way these mushrooms are growing so bright and shiny against the tree.



I don't think I've ever seen so many cormorants together at the lake like this.



Now that most of the leaves have dropped it's easier to spot the birds in the trees and I like the way the evergreens behind them make a nice backdrop.



I thought I was only photographing a few leaves hanging on the tree below but after downloading realized that two of the leaves were actually little birds.



The warbler was hiding in a bush below.



There were lots of American Robins in the trees and I photographed the one below in my pecan tree.



My oak trees are the only trees in my yard that still have leaves but they are dropping pretty fast (I took the shot below mid week).



I think the ice I knocked out of a bird bath below looks like broken glass.

Today's Flowers: Flower Hunt

There were so many flowers when our weather turned cold that it took a while for all of them to turn brown and die.



I went on a hunt early this week to see if I could find any remaining flowers in the garden I walk in frequently.



At first I thought all I'd find were berries and brown flowers.



I was amazed to find the little flowers hiding in the bush above.



I was even more surprised to see how much color the flower below had left.



I'll end with seasonal berries.
