A surprise in the camera lens...

Sometimes you never know what you
are going to see
through the lens of your camera...
This evening I found a bokeh sunset
through the branches
of our Blue Muffin Viburnums...
Isn't that cool?

Bushes of tiny little blue berries
just waiting for large
flocks of robins
to start
their feeding frenzy
upon it's fermenting berries.

It's a real treat watching the robins
devour these berries.
They act a tad bit
intoxicated at times
and
maybe
they are!
There always seems to be
one bossy robin
in the flock.
The one
that
thinks she owns
all the berries
on all the bushes,
&
she
tries her hardest
to chase off
the competition...

I look forward to this
berry eating ritual
each late-summer,
and when the berries are gone,
sadly
so are the robins.
Time to make their journey
to warmer climates.

I hate to say this,
but it's starting to feel like fall.
I felt it during my stroll through the backyard
this evening.

The cicadas have been singing now for a couple of weeks...
you know what that means?
6 weeks until frost
according to the old wives-tale.

The days are growing
shorter,
fall will be upon us
before long...

Have a good night,
Brenda
