is this an oriole's nest
~
if it had been low enough for me to touch
i think it would have come home with me
mushrooms that grow upside down from huge trees
amaze me
i'm not sure why cattails are called cattails
~
i don't think they look like the tails of any cats i know
can you believe that i found a chinese lantern still in bloom
still bright orange
still hanging on to every last day of fall
and
as much as i love anything living
dried up pods and seeds of any kind this time of year
i find terribly beautiful

Happy Monday, Lovely One !
What a great gift you have Beth!
Lovely fall finds. Lovely.
Oh, yes, I find these things beautiful too. Especially cattails and dried pods and seeds. You've captured their beauty well.
There are so many gifts outdoor to enjoy. Glad you captured those beautiful gifts.
Beth...I love SOOC...most of my images are the same! You are such a beautiful Spirited photographer!
Such lovely treasures.. late autumn beauties are such a wonder. Thanks for sharing these.
Yes, they are beautiful "as is". It is so fun to take walks and enjoy nature with the camera.

I've loved your blog from afar,
seeing your title pop up now and then

I'll be back

Wow all sooc? You rock! Lovely photos my friend. xoxo
Beautiful! You know I love this kind of stuff.
So nice to be back after bad bronchitis, over-work at work. Good to see all you do that is so lovely!
Wonderful collection of sunny autumn images. Excellent!
this is a very special novemeber rainbow of color beth
oh my gosh! I just LOVE these photos and I love the real things in nature! My Grama always had those Chinese Lanterns when I was a little girl, but I've never seen them since. LOVE them, thank you! I've also never seen an oriel's nest. Pods and seeds and bulbs are a favorite of mine, too, Beth. We are too much alike...! We would get into trouble together. ♥
i love dried up pods and seeds. there's an earthy mystery to them...
You have an amazing eye for beauty. You capture so many elements of nature that few people ever slow down long enough to see. Thank you; I'm one of those people!
I'll say! They are all just gorgeous...love the seedpods, too.
Great pics, Beth!! The Chinese lantern is beautiful!
These are lovely. The blurred background effect is especially pretty.
Bird nests are truly fun. Great picture of the nest.
oh my! These shots are incredible! Lovely bokeh! What lens did you use to take these?
Love that oriole nest:)
breath.taken.away.
that upsidedown mushroom is AMAZING!!!
That mushroom is fascinating. Never seen one that looked like that before!
I was walking with some friends about a month ago, along a path lined with cattails....my friend plucked one off its branch and broke it open...and oh my...a whole new world of spectacular opened up to me as the seeds blew all over the place in the wind. I have never thought to do that before...had no idea they were bursting with dandelion like seeds!!!
