October birds in the garden

 The robins were around to test the firethorn berries for ripeness.  They did not seem to find the berries satisfactory, as there is a lot of them dropped on the sidewalk beneath the firetorn bush.  The holly tree still has its berries.  Hopefully they will be ready on Christmas Day, again.
 I liked the reflection of the background bokeh in the water on top of the deck table.  With the curves of the table and the reflection of the humming bird feeder over the bokeh reflection, I thought it made a nice abstract kind of a picture.
 The hummingbirds are liking the feeder this time.  I have seen two of the birds at the same time.
Another photo of the Anna's humming bird at the feeder.

It has been raining lately and I have been raking leaves.  Most of the leaves are off of the English Oak at the back.  The sweet gum tree is holding about half of its leaves.  It has glorious colors again, this year.
