Pictures

 Since the great wave of football tonight is done- and Laurie is off teaching a friend of hers ABOUT football- I find myself with time to put up a picture post...


So this is another Sunday night after the race...


One last look at the sun



A deer at the Alumni pond





Checking out fishermen

Venus on the left



Jump way ahead to Thursday night...



Lots of red

In the woods, yellow is more dominant

Creek is full of leaves.  I remember this fooling Scrappy once...





Then Friday, after the rain had cleared and the shopping was done...



Got quite close to this guy...

...maybe too close...

FB friend and former county councilman Mitch Harper had just posted about Honeysuckle being an invasive pest along the trails.  Not as bad here as it USED to be...

Misty sneaks up on the river.  Why?  No idea...


"Sneaking is thirsty work..."

Meanwhile by the ravine, bunnies have apparently resorted to shopping for food...

"Pick up a doggie treat next time, darn bunnies!"

Kinda starting to look like more rain (it didn't)


Another failed attempt to catch the shower of falling leaves...


And that brings us to this morning- a morning which Misty didn't feel like rolling out of bed till almost 9AM....



I thought this was cool: Sunshine on top, streaming thru the trees in the middle, frost on the ground


Fog from frost burning off


Lots of color

Big Guy wreathed in everybody else's gold

Going down to the footbridge is a good deal more dangerous with all those leaves

Looking at another walker way off


My closest attempt at getting a shot of the elusive gray squirrel


Oh no, contrails, lol!

We are needing the goose cleaner on aisle one...

Her first visit to the last of the California Road ruins.  This is near where it ran down a tunnel under Coliseum Blvd into the Coliseum lot.

Her favorite place, the river

Hmmm... they took the bushhog to one end of the canal

More wild grapes, aka Chris's breakfast

Fog gone, now

  1. Such pretty fall colours! You seem to have a lot of deer in your area. That's one form of wildlife we never see around here. Plenty of squirrels, rabbits and skunks, though. Not to mention coyotes! 😫

  3. What gorgeous colors! In Virginia Beach, our trees go from green to brown to dead.
