I don't know if I'm going to finish that "lost tomb" book I was reading earlier this month. I decided it was a good time to revisit Anne of Green Gables. Anne does such an excellent job of appreciating things around her, particularly nature, and this is surely the season for that.......
Bert's walk is done; time to start walking me.
Crab apples. This is a little tree (around my height). It is covered with fruit.
Queen Anne's lace.
Gone to seed. You can see the clusters of flowers, above, are now clusters of seeds. Or seedpods -- I don't know if those things with the white spikes are each one seed, or if they are a seedpod. I think they are each a seed. Next time I walk by a Queen Anne's lace, I'll find out!
Maple.
Milkweed. An ugly shot, but we can see the leaves, some green seedpods, and a ripe seedpod that has lost all of its seeds, as well as a ripe seedpod releasing its leaves now.
The fluff on milkweed seeds is so fine it can be hard to feel it with your fingers.
Autumn moon, with jet trail.
Maples in the strong late-afternoon sun.
Locust and 'shrooms. A locust leaf (like that golden one on the right) is a compound leaf with a lot of small leaflets. All of the skinny "sticks" in this pic are the centers of locust leaves, without their little gold (or brown) leaflets.
More maples.
Another look at the sky. We've had a bounty of gorgeous days, this fall.....
