White-breasted Nuthatch

After re-arranging my bird feeder yesterday I got set up to take a few bird pictures this morning. Only the White-breasted Nuthatch got the message.

Misty Morning

I went out early to take a picture of the moon but it was all fuzzy in the mist so I took this one instead.

An early morning walk up to the top of the yard a while back presented this scene which I thought was worth a picture.

Skunky

This evening I was down in the -1 level with the window open talking to outside Ginger kitty while I fed him. I could hear the leaves rustling under the deck and Ginger wasn't very happy when Skunky came up to eat his food. I popped upstairs to grab the nearest camera and took a few pictures through the open window. This is with a manual focus 21mm wide angle lens.

No escape.

This time of year there is no escape from leaves. You see the beautiful colors, you drive through them, you walk through them. Worst thing is you have to shift them off your lawn! It takes a lot of effort I tell you. I think it's worth though. I went for a walk up at Mt Gretna this morning and ended up taking pictures of leaves mostly.

Old Barn

I noticed the  stone walls of old barn across the lane were starting to fall so I walked over and took some photos for posterity.
