Yesterday' I noticed some places where there where some good photo ops. Yesterday was not good for getting the photos as it was too bright. So I though the next morning would be better. It was a good time for photos.
All these photos were taken in the close behind my house. All of them were taken less than 200 meters away around 9 AM
So out on a beautiful fall evening, you can catch some great color.
Today was one of those fine fall days that makes fall so pleasant.
My job today was to dig my garden. Yes, I grow a vegetable garden and yes , I dig every bit of it by hand! Now my garden plot isn't very large ... maybe 20 x 30 feet. But for an elderly person , it's a lot of digging.
The temperature was about 20 C . The sun was bright. Not a cloud in the sky. No wind. It was dry. It was a beautiful day to be outside.
We have had very little precipitation since the end of June. Everything is dry. However, it seems like a good fall day has to be dry. Farmers want dry weather to harvest their crops.
This would have been a great day to just sit on your deck or patio.
Here's one of those pleasant fall days when we were out birding.
I finally got to go out with the birding group this morning. I can't take bird photos but I can get some scenery. There's much more color than a couple of weeks ago.
We also saw lots of birds. we saw 32 species. The yellow rumped warbler we saw should be out of here. There were many robins.
Scenery this fall is kind of ragged and pale. The colors are paler and many of the leaves have been damaged by the very dry summer we had. Trees shut down because of the dryness. Many of the leaves have brown or black spots which indicates damage to the leaves in the summer.
I was out to one of my favorite places...Michael Obrien Wetlands. It's an artificial wetland developed to treat storm water before it enters the river system.
Ordinarily it is beautiful in the fall.
