The beauty of seasons: Autumn in Transylvania-part III.

Thank you for coming back to the third and final part of my Transylvanian Autumn collection. As you remember the first part featured leaves only, the second part trees, forests, and ladscapes. Last but not least I thought I will showcase flowers, fruits, and unique berries that grow on bushes.
Enjoy.

This is the Euonymus europaeus, or "Kecskerágó" in Hungarian, is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae, native to much of Europe, where it inhabits the edges of forests, hedges and gentle slopes. I've taken this picture in the back yard of my sister's country house. Same place as the previous photos were taken, also.

Oh, and just in case you wonder what my family does with the harvest, well my sister bakes a lot using the apples and walnuts, and the grapes, yeap you guessed it, wine!! Good old home made wine.

Now, this is almost like the "albino" version of the Euonymus europaeus, or "Kecskerágó". This was the first time in my life that I came across these as I was walking through the village, when we spent a weekend at the country house. As I took the pictures and admired these unique berries, one of the villagers told me that it was the Kecskerágó, only white. Huh. It looks different but who can argue with the locals, right? I forgot to mention that both of the berries are very hard and almost like rubbery to touch.

So, we made it to the end of the Autumn series in Transylvania. Come back and check out the other seasons that will follow, soon.
Thank you for your reviews. Be blessed and take time to capture and enjoy nature.
