Awesome autumn

After Wednesday's rain and the stormy night that followed, today proved to be a wonderful time to capture some of autumn's beauty around my property….

 On the car and through its window...

And then just a gorgeous stroll...

Welcome autumn!

 It's officially autumn, my favorite time of year!! Please let it be cool and crisp -- and let the air be filled with the aroma of burning leaves, pine needles and roasting marshmallows.

Whether rolling or strolling, Othercat is loving these beautiful days...

A final daisy holds onto the hope of summer...

But it's time for mums!

An all-black wooly bear caterpillar -- good or bad omen??

Autumn stroll...

Hit the trail!

Ah, autumn. I love to get out on the Perkiomen Trail throughout the year, but autumn is my favorite season by far for hitting the trail.
The scents that tickle your nose -- the fallen leaves, someone off in the distance with a fire burning -- the crisp air and the crunch under your feet. Those special hues of autumn can take your breath away.
And the trail opens up the opportunities to fill your senses, so brisk walks there are great for the body and soul.
Hike along!

September song

I love autumn, and although it's not fall yet, I was beginning to think summer was starting all over again this past week. But Sunday was such a wonderful surprise -- cool breezes, low humidity and just that hint of autumn in the air!

So it was a must to get out and stroll around the yard, snapping a few photos along the way. It was just such a delightful day after those recent humid and hot ones. Please, no more of those this year!

A few last blooms of summer…

Hints of autumn...

Yep, a gorgeous day...

Othercat thought so, too. He had to accompany me, which wouldn't be so bad if he didn't have to weave in and out between your feet with every step. He's our outdoor cat who seems to have adopted us. At least we were able to get him to the vet this summer to be neutered and get all of his vaccines! Now we have to build him a house, in case he sticks around for the cold temps!Hi there!

Othercat isn't even afraid of this garden resident … Guess he's figured out it's not alive.

Awesome autumn

AHH, I LOVE AUTUMN!

So walking around my yard and fields the past few days provided plenty of opportunities to capture just a bit of this awesome season...

The tree below is a bit spooky...

Love this view from my yard...

Squirrel food… plenty of hickory nuts this year...

 Old fence posts, barbed wire, roots, old wire insulator...

Those autumn leaves...

 

 

And a stalwart flower...
