Foggy, Foggy Night

 
With the beautiful weather
we have been having
this October....

 
....we have seen amazing sunsets,
but for me this one takes the cake...
...the sun disappearing into the fog.
 
Thank you for visiting my blog!

My Garden - Fall Interest

 
The swaying grasses offer
a lot of interest to the garden
at this time of the year...

 
...as well as the hard and prickly
seed heads of Echinacea

Old Farmhouse

 
Something about the shapes
and colour in this scene
asked me to photograph it....

 
This house looks abandoned
but someone is actually living here.

Creeping In

 
Absolutely delightful,
our sunny fall days
lead to rolling fog
advancing in the early evening...
 

 
...marching in from the west coast waters.

Drifting Fog

 
Sunny weather in the fall
often brings early morning fog
along the coast and in the valleys...
...fascinating,
as it changes minute by minute!

My Garden - Crispy Leaves

 
I love fall colour...

Traction

 
Looks like there is great traction
on these steel wheels....

 
....on this abandoned tractor
 in prairie country.

Golden Grass

 
Grasses add such lovely colour to a fading garden...

 
...with touches of red and gold
to cheer up the fall scene,
 before winter turns them
to a faded brown.
Have an enjoyable Thanksgiving Day!

Barn - No Trespassing

 
Happily driving along one day last week....

 
...I came around the corner
and this ram shackled barn leaped up
 into the left side of my vision,
...guarded by  
an amazing number of no trespassing signs...

 
...I  quickly shot a few pictures out of my car window
of the rustic barn and fall foliage.

My Garden - Pink Aster

 
As the garden begins to slow down
and foliage changes colour...

 
...this pink aster
warms my heart...

 
with it's delicate beauty.
I think it is a real gem.  :  )

Autumn Rain

 
We have had a very rainy week...

 
...and the clouds offer fascinating shapes to the landscape...

 
...as the trees begin to take on autumn hues.
Autumn is here for sure.

Barn At Minter Gardens

 
Once a farm,
the Minters saw this picturesque site,
and here created their
beautiful gardens,
which became world renown.

 
What a lovely setting for this charming old barn!
