What is Yellow and Red All Over?

That would be the month of October in this part of the world.

When I tried to come up with a theme for this month’s Changing Seasons post, I realized it was just about the colour. I think this is the most photogenic time of the year and my camera has been busy. This is nature’s last big party of the year.

Without wanting to repeat anything I’ve already posted about this month – including on my other blog here, here, and here – I offer you this photo story of the month I had.

One of the apple trees bordering the golf course where I’ve been playing all summer.

What was previously hidden by the trees in summer, now becomes visible.

I was thrilled to capture a photo of this handsome guy, looking at me looking at him. I’m thinking it might be an osprey – anyone?
This is the first time I’ve seen one in my backyard.
As if Theo coming home excitedly with a mouse in his mouth wasn’t proof enough of the active rodent population.

In the gloom and rain of this last day of October.

This now marks the beginning of the long winter sleep ahead. ‘night ‘night.
