not so long ago

 I'm paraphrasing here, but Picasso was once asked why he had so many paintings of the same bowl of fruit. He responded by saying that it was never the same bowl of fruit.

For months now, Allyn and I have been taking the "same" walk around the block except it's never the same walk. Recently I walked past this common nightshade that has put on its Holiday decorations. 

 

I remember when these berries were the flowers of summer, not so long ago.
