Buck Buddies

 
A pair of bucks came through our yard today, nibbling here and there on the abundant vegetation. One was an 8 point, the other a 6 point. They were wary and alert as they grazed and only stayed for a short time. It is cloudy here today, but the fall hues, that are growing ever more colorful by the day, still shone bright.

Conococheaque Creek

 
On this lovely autumn day, my husband and I traveled to the small town of Scotland, Pennsylvania, and more specifically to Conococheaque Creek. Kevin was there to fly fish and I was there to photograph him fishing and document the beautiful day with photos.

Foggy Morning

 
A thick layer of fog enveloped us this morning. It looks '"other-worldly" when a dense fog settles into our mountain hollow. Even though the fog cast a film over everything, some of the bright colors of  the fall foliage still shined through haze.

Coming Along Nicely

Tree leaves are definitely beginning to be infused with fall colors. Most notable at this time are the crimson red black gum leaves. The red bud leaves are turning a pretty, lemony yellow. Though growing ever shorter, days are still mostly sunny and warm. Bees and butterflies are lesser in number now, but some make their way to my gardens to enjoy the flowers that remain in bloom.
