Badger

Just came across this one of Badger I took recently.

Fall

The leaves are falling therefore it's the Fall in my book. A truer definition of Fall is:-

Fall begins on September 23, early in the morning at 4:21 A.M. The autumnal equinox is when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator from north to south. (The celestial equator is the circle in the celestial sphere halfway between the celestial poles. It can be thought of as the plane of Earth's equator projected out onto the sphere.) 
Another definition of fall is nights of below-freezing temperatures combined with days of temperatures below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 
The word equinox means "equal night"; night and day are about the same length of time. This occurs two times each year: Vernal in late March and Autumnal in late September.
What it means to me is dew soaked grass, falling leaves and Broad-winged Hawks up on the mountain. Oh, and Spiders webs.

Farm

The farm across the lane. I've been busy so very few new photo's. I did treat myself to a new backup camera in case I should drop my Nikon again.

Butterflies, Spider and a Bee

I've taken a few moments the last couple of days to photograph some of the summer inhabitants. I'm going to try and get a shot of the huge Wolf Spider outside the bathroom window.
