Alas, the arrival of our wild berries comes with a huge sense of urgency that we must fit in all our summer fun very quickly... for autumn is coming. I took this photo on August 10th!
I love the gold leaves but I'm not ready for them!
Fortunately, I love the sight of "golden" grass (a California euphemism)! The pups don't mind it either although I check them carefully after each ride for foxtails.
I do miss these days....

ReplyDeleteIT took a decidedly autumnal turn over here this past week and there are quite a few colourful leaves outside the Hutch's windows! We are hoping there will be another two or three weeks of warmer weather though... YAM xx
I can't imagine having to deal with foxtails. I have read so many horror stories! You are getting the beginnings of fall, we are having some of our hottest weather yet of this summer!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the flowers but the grasses are gorgeous to. never heard of foxtails.. here we have what we call beggar lice, they get on the coats of dogs and on our legs or pants and shoes. they cling and ride and drop off and make more. what about ticks in those grasses? do you have them there?
ReplyDeleteI am back, I read and saw photos of the foxtail grass barbs and about the danger. hope they stay safe from this.
ReplyDeleteOh those barbs don't sound like fun at all.
ReplyDeleteWe've been seeing some color changes but that is mostly because of stress from our drought and super hot summer. Fall isn't in a hurry to get here either as we are having some highs in the 90's again next week.
ReplyDeleteWe think the autumn leaves and golden grasses are as pretty as any flower! We have a cool day today but the heat and humidity return in a couple of days for another round of hot fun. YUK!
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for the golden days of Autumn!!!

Mother nature will not let us out of the grips of this hot hazy heat we are in... September there will be warm days but hopefully not endless with heat index at 100 or 103. YIKES.
ReplyDeleteWish we could share some summer with you all
Hugs madi and mom
That raspberry does look very tasty. I love all berries!!! After a very hot and humid summer, fall will be welcomed here as long as the cold doesn't set in too quickly.
ReplyDeleteMy mom dies for raspberries. She doesn't go to pick your own places because nothing ends up in her bucket! We see a few wild blueberry bushes around here and we eat those right off the bush.
ReplyDeleteI know winter is hard up your way, but I can't wait for autumn to arrive. We're seeing subtle signs around the city it's around the corner, namely some cooler temps and a few spots of gold.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos KB! That raspberry was so stunning! Our fall colors have not started yet. So much is just brown from the dry hot summer.,
