Wow! After all the grey posts of late, the colour in this one hit me in my sleepy, early morning eyes and now I'm going to be starily awake all day. Hoorah for Autumnal colour.
The birds don't care for them yet, Petrea, but I'll see cardinals and blue jays later. I've found out where robins go in winter: they go look for these trees and gorge themselves on the fruit until they cannot fly. I've seen them roosting in the snow below these trees, up to fifty of them, too to fly. It must be a winter treat.

My little world gray? Nah. Blue-gray, violet-gray, yellow- gray, etc., but hardly ever just plain B+W gray.
When I went for a walk Saturday after the rains all the night before, all this bright, jewel-like color was all around. It was terrific.
I remember watching out of my classroom window in Illinois, as cedar waxwings gorged themselves on these.
