Calendar October

This is another photo taken along Dry Creek in Paradise where I walk everyday.  There was a mound of earth that was totally covered with ferns.  When the oak leaves began to fall on the ferns it created this beautiful pattern.

Here is another colorful scene found along the trail in the fall.  Don’t ask me the name of the plant or the berries.  I was just attracted to the array of colors.

Have you ever seen ladybugs swarm?  It’s quite a site.  I found millions of them on a fallen try one day and fortunately I had my camera with me.  Here I just zoomed in on a very small section of the log.

The moss grows extremely thick on some of the trees near the creek.  I guess it’s because they don’t get much sun down in this deep canyon.  After a rain it gets very green and creates some nice contrast with the fallen oak leaves.
