See What I Found This Week During a Second Look.
These are the first mums to bloom this fall. |
Chinese lantern seed pods |
We're seeing more activity at our feeder these days. This is an adult male house finch. |
One of our many squirrels taking a drink from the bird bath. |
After a rain one day, these mushrooms sprang up. |
The dogwoods were the first trees to turn colors. They have been red for a couple of weeks now. |
This maple is also starting to turn. Notice that it does it from the top down. The bare branches transition to red leaves which transition to green leaves. |
This impatiens was close to the house, so it survived our first frost. |
Those Chinese lantern pods are so visually interesting.
ReplyDeleteThese seed pods are very interesting. However, in the ideal world, I wouldn't have so many. The Chinese lanterns are weeds that were taking over my daisy bed.
DeleteIt all looks beautiful. I agree, those Chinese lantern pods are very interesting looking.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few trees in our area that look magnificent. No mums this year, but our teddy bear sunflowers are still blooming.
I love any kind of sunflower but only had one this year. Maybe I'll plant some more next year if I can figure out a good spot for them.
DeleteI love the squirrel photo! That's not something you see over here :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have any squirrels? What is your similar animal?
