The whole thing comes together in a weird, wonderful, colourful way, don’t you think?

On a walk around the lake this morning, I ran across this mishmash of colour.

On the left-middle, you can see a red flower and new, green berry of a salmonberry.

More in the middle, are Mahonia leaves, many of which appear to be diseased (perhaps a rust?) and yellow Mahonia flowers.

The whole thing is surrounded again by green Mahonia and salmonberry leaves, with a background of browns from nearby trees.

An odd collection, and I like it. But that’s just me.
