Flower for the Day Nature Walk 11-30-16

It is the last day of November and I took a walk around the gardens to see what was still blooming. 

As I stepped out onto the deck there was a dead juvenile robin lying there, still warm with soft breast feathers.

And there were a few hardy flowers still blooming after several killing freezes,

including several black-eyed Susans,

a yellow coneflower,

some about to bloom purple pansies,

and a plethora of cranberries on surrounding trees.
