A bee sampling the rosemary; late in October, so probably the last bee for many months to come. It is easy to see how well the rosemary flowers are shaped to welcome the incoming traffic.

The weather has been unusually warm lately. Yesterday I saw a butterfly (very unusual for the end of October). The roses are taking full advantage of the warmth. This is a Bonica rose, and it is always the last to continue flowering into the late Fall.

Jack-o-lantern mushrooms (Omphalotus olearius) growing at the base of tree. They are poisonous and supposedly bioluminescent, but I have never seen it glow.

From earlier in the year. These are ghost plants, (or ghost pipes, Indian pipes or corpse plants; Monotropa uniflora). They are parasitic on fungi that live in symbiotic relationship with trees, (often beech trees), and come above ground only briefly to flower. Lacking chlorophyll, they are completely white.

A viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus). It looks very similar to the better-known Monarch butterfly, both advertising to predators that they taste bad. Viceroys are smaller than Monarchs with a strong black line through the hind wings, and, unlike Monarchs, they do not migrate.

A mourning Dove showing it's "angel" wings. According to internet there are about 475 million mourning doves in N. America, so more doves than people.

From earlier in the year; a yellow rose (Topaz jewel) after a rain shower. It has a strong perfume and blooms yellow but fades almost to white after a day or two . For years it stopped flowering at all, and I was close to digging it out, but it has come back to life. Some kind of pest has got at the leaves though, and stripped them.
