Most of my Second Look was done at 5 o'clock in the evening when the sun was starting to set. That made it hard to see much. However, my camera did a pretty good job capturing what light there was--meaning the pictures make it seem lighter out than it really was. However, the operator of the camera didn't do a very good job of holding the camera steady in the low light--meaning many of the pictures turned out blurry. I've got to work on that.
Here's what I saw this week during a Second Look.
 |
The sun was going down as well as the temperature when I was out. I'm not sure what the temperature was, but it felt cold to me. |
 |
There are still occasional maple trees that haven't lost their leaves yet. |
 |
This is the "artsy" picture I took of the above maple trees when I wasn't holding the camera still enough. |
 |
The wind had blown the top off one of our bird boxes and I got a chance to peer in. Last summer, a sparrow laid four eggs in here, however only one of them hatched. Surprisingly, two of the eggs are still intact. |
 |
Even though I couldn't see much, I still got the pleasure of crunching through the leaves. |
 |
There aren't as many blooms as last week, but the pansies are still providing color in the front flower beds. |
 |
Another "artsy" picture of browning mums. It was pretty much dark by the time I got to this part of the yard. |

One afternoon earlier in the week, these three deer were relaxing in the yard. |
