Welcome back to another summary of the week's photos. More photos of autumn are included in the collection.
Day 300-
I have three Drift roses bushes near the front door, and they are really reliable bloomers. They are black spot resistant. The variety I have is 'Popcorn'. They will bloom until late November/ December.

For most of October, we didn't have any rain, then we had four days of rain. There is riprap along the roadway to mitigate erosion, and this day, there was a lot of rainwater rushing downhill along the road. A rapid rushing of water cascading down, into the riprap and through the culverts, into the lake.

Many of my hostas are on the deck, away from the deer and their nibbling. I have some hostas in the garden and before the cold weather came, those hostas looked like celery stalks stuck in the ground.

Our Kmart in town closed several years ago, and a U-Haul storage place and rental facility moved in. The parking lot is sloped, and I was surprised that the storage units were placed so that the front of the unit was not even with the ground.

Remember the beautiful roses from a few days ago (see above)? The deer are very hungry. They nibbled almost every rose and rosebud off the shrubs. My poor rose bushes look like Morticia Addams pruned every single stem.

In the fall we get a lot of spider webs but I think these Funnel weaver spider webs are so interesting. They are a very tight funnels, though I rarely see the spider that makes these.

Day 306-
I have a variety of Camellias in the garden. Most of the ones I have are Camellia sasanquas, blooming anytime from September through December. This beauty is Camellia sasanqua 'Ashley Eden'. In the coming weeks, I will be sharing more Camellias. There are lots of pollinators who like these beauties.

And now for a few of the not chosen photos-
Possumhaw holly, or Ilex decidua. It is in berry at the corner of my septic drain field.
Afternoon light shines through the trees along the driveway.
That's all for this week, hope you liked the chosen and not chosen photos. Come back again next week.
