photograph 43 varieties of flowers, berries, and flower-like weeds growing on my property this summer

On behalf of all the flowers and six/eight-legged critters that inhabit my yard, thanks for stopping by & thanks for all the kind words & encouragement to complete this goal! : )

On my penultimate entry, I present a sure sign of autumn – dried up berries.

These little flowers are growing on some sort of succulent plant (I forget its name).

Here is an honorary entry…a lovely mushroom looking very much like Japanese plates I own…off-white with artistic earth-tone streaks.

...berries belonging to the uber-nasty buckthorn plant…

I call this one “beautiful decay” – this is the same flower I photographed for entry #26.
