Nature continues without us. Though we are still in lock down and I really miss getting out into the bush and watching the turning of the
deciduous beech, there's still a bit of autumn colour about. It is also the season of harvest, pods, fungi, fruit and berries and our native plants put on their own display, evergreen though they may be.

| Pumpkins on the nature strip |

| Just a jumble of leaves with one old - fashioned scented violet |
 |
| Native species such as these sheoaks offer their fruit too (Did you know that there were he oaks too?) |
 |
| I really miss going fungi hunting too, but there are a surprising number around the neighbourhood too- no edible ones alas. |
