PHOTOPAGE 353

   

   

 

 Early October 2007

A warm October, warm and clear and calm and dry - the colors of change are not really evident in the trees yet, but the Poison Ivy and Virginia Creeper are showing color and the Red Bush Honeysuckle has formed deep red berries.

353.3  Hallowe'en

On the right, the shed skin of a Northern Water Snake - paper thin but untorn as the snake peeled it backwards, wedging between two rocks or similar sturdy prop. This enables the snake to grow.

353.9 White Oak 

On the left, a large, somewhat solitary oak tree. The lack of growth beneath the tree is probably the result of the tree's protective ability to shade out other plants and change the acidity of the soil with it's fallen leaves..
