Maaruskasta vain rippeet jäljellä - Autumn colors have gone

If the the Varrio autumn colours were in their full splendor (see the Nature Diary note of 30.9.2005), just one week later the colors have gone. In between, there was rain and strong wind but no real ground frost. The bare stalks of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) are ready for winter and snow.
