blue berries in rosy pink cases.....

..........aka clerodendron trichotomum

I don't think I'll remember this name but I thought these autumn berries looked beautiful on the little tree in our friends' garden.

Thanks Richard @agedrunner for flagging up to me that my collage of pink dahlias has made it to PP and thank you everybody for your support!

The rain is coming down heavily and diagonally this morning and I don't think Mr Jinks will be amenable for going out for a walk so I'll have an early swim (in a warm pool) and look forward to photography group this afternoon.

A pretty capture and great colours . Well done with your Dahlias on P.P. Raining here too. I had planned a little photo walk whilst hubby is at the gym but it is going to be a soggy one . Enjoy your swim and photography group.

Hope you've had a nice day. It stopped raining this afternoon but I 'd already managed to get Jinks out before I went to photography. I missed my swim and fell asleep instead as I had a not very good night!
