These are the berries the robins eat in late January, early February, when there isn’t anything else to eat. I don’t think they like them that much, but it’s what is left. They will eat them from the top of the tree to the bottom outside my clinic window, with a dozen robins in the tree at once.

I took this last week. It was sunny and cool. Now it is a bit warmer but with the clouds low and thick and sometimes raining. Gray. The leaves are coming down.

Traffic at the cat bowl, November 2021.

Duck and coot traffic at Kai Tai Nature Park.

Laptop traffic. It’s busy.

Bushtit feeder traffic.

Great blue heron traffic. How many do you count in this tree?
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: traffic.
As the leaves fall and the rain comes, colors leach from the leaves. Nutrients for the next year.
I took this in November 2021.

Golden yellow everywhere.

So is the tree vacuuming all of the nutrients and chlorophyll out of the leaves? Or do the leaves send the nutrients back themselves and glory in their colors before falling? Or both? Who is a tree expert out there?

I walked down my hill and around the Kai Tai Lagoon a few days ago. The trees are putting on an amazing show. It interests me that most of the trees the city is planting are not native. We have a lot of non-native maples. I feel a bit ambivalent, but they certainly turn red! The orange one here is an oak. There are native oaks and I have not figured out if this is one.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day. I think the leaves are taking their turn at being flowers before they fall.
From my Oregon hike on Wednesday.

“Our turn,” say the maple leaves, “Our turn to flower in color and glory!”
Our natives are vine maples and big leaf maples. Glorious against the evergreens.
