Wild rose hips

The edges of the vineyards are home to many a wild rose. This time of year, their blooms gone, the rose's hips provide some brilliant color as a counterpoint to the yellows, golds, and browns of the vines.

There are still a few green leaves on this wild rose.

So far, our November weather is not at all November-like. It's mild, but we're having a series of windy rain squalls. Normally, November days are cold and still with heavy fog on the ground, like a graveyard on Halloween. I like the sun we're getting, and the blustery rain is a bit exciting. But it feels more like March than November. So far.


  1. We're having a nice change of seasons, though some unseasonably mild temps for a few days now.

  2. The only brilliant color I see is red...are those the 'hips'?

  3. judy, the weather is just so unpredictable! lol

    starman, yes, the red pods, called "hips," are the fruit of the rose bush.


Pour your heart out! I'm listening.
