Cottage Country/ Nature Notes

Last Sunday near Huntsville, Ontario

Berries and a few blossoms still decorate the wilds of central Ontario. Seen here in the largest square: the red berries of common winterberry (Ilex verticillata). Working clockwise: common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), red clover (Trifolium pratense), common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), toadflax or butter-and-eggs (Linaria vulgaris),  and wintergreen (Gaultheria procumens).

    Although the entire collage is wonderful, I really like the picture of the winterberry berries.

    Things are winding down for the season, but there will still be some time before the snow flies...

    There is much beauty in each season. Although, the cold rain is wearing on me!
