Svångemåla is a very quiet place all year round and particularly this time of the year. A few birds can be heard but not much else. A couple of deer came close to our house and enjoyed a bit of sunshine before they took off into the forest.
Not all apples have fallen off the trees and most of those that are left are damaged by various insects. They are still nice to look at and hopefully they can become food for the birds.
These berries look nice but I have been told that they are poisonous. Looking them up ( Berberis vulgaris ) it says that they "can be used for culinary purposes in ways comparable to how citrus peel might be used". Not sure I want to try them out :)
This time of the year is also the time we look at fantastic pictures from Vermont and other places where nature is turning into a cascade of colors. Some leaves in Svångemåla are also displaying incredible colors, like this one but most look like the next photo..
Nice but not spectacular.
