BTG wanted to share these

BTG gave a lovely explanation to me of this picture:

I learned that goldfish flowers when they are ripe, they are bright orangey-red and then when they get older, their bulb kind of shrinks and the seed inside them isn’t in the middle of the flower anymore. And then when they shrivel up and die they fall off the plant.

Cleaver:
With this, I discovered that it grows in bunches of two or three together. And I also discovered that it was very hard to draw.

Last summer, BTG sat on a log in the backyard and drew this sketch of the neighbouring farm. She concentrated especially on getting the shadows right.

K2 wants you to be sure you can read the caption he wrote under the picture:

Jack Frost's work is gorgeous on our old, drafty windows.

Birds by CTM:

Although this looks only somewhat like the real thing, we did see two Blue Jays at our feeder almost every day this week. We're quite excited and hope they stick around for the winter.

I copied this out of my bird book, not from the real thing.

If you know what these berries are would you please let me know?

My little yellow flower--unknown type but K2 says it's a type of clover.
