Was looking at redosier dogwood (Cornus sericea) berries, was visited by this crane fly

A cluster of round white dogwood berries droops down amid the bush's oval green leaves. There is a dead leaf on the ground, turning bright yellow. The leaf and berry stems are a somber red,  which gets brighter in winter. A pale tan crane fly has landed on a green dogwood leaf. It has very long legs that reach out beyond its translucent, golden,  veined wings,  balancing it in the middle. Its body is long and looks very fragile.

I was testing a blackberry, along came a spider and jumped out beside me

I was testing a blackberry, along came a spider and jumped out beside me

A few blackberries,  mostly ripe,  peek out from behind their serrate leaves. The leaves are still green, but are fading to autumnal yellows. The blackberries look good,  with light reflecting off their glossy druplet A common garden spider, with her pretty brown and tan decorative abdomen,  and fierce hairy legs, lurks in her web. She has just leaped out from behind some leaves, alerted by my berry picking. Alas, I am too large to be useful prey.
