462 Chinese Lanterns and Oak Leaves

These Chinese Lanterns a.k.a Physalis alkekengi,  Japanese Lanterns, winter cherry, are my glamour crop for this season.  They have spread like crazy in my back garden and it is fun to find something so colorful that the rabbits don't eat.  I love how they look in the blue and white bowl with the acorns.  I hate to see summer end, but I love the vibrancy of the colors of Autumn.
