Just some fall pictures from around our yard. Beautiful fall colors.
We have lots of swaths of Golden Rod in the back, where the wild roses and blackberries were in the spring. Beautiful, birght yellow and full of insect critters.
This is Virginia Creeper, it's a deep burgandy red and just climbs up the trees. We have it on several trees in our yard, it's really pretty.
Just some flowers that grew from some seeds we planted in early spring.
These deer like to come down from the woods and hang out here in the evenings.
A new visitor, a little garter snake.
The night sky, is just beautiful. We live out in the county ~ no street lights, shopping centers etc so we get a good clear view. We're trying to learn more of them, sometimes there are so many stars it's hard for us to pick out the constellations. We've seen the Milky Way, Ursa Major, with the big dipper, Taurus, Leo, Orion, Cygnet, Gemini, Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor, Draco, Bootes, Pegasus. Here is a sunset picture with two planets appearing. Not a great picture, but an amazing view I wanted to share. We miss our personal astronomer in NC (hi Rebecca!), so we're trying to manage on our own.

We also have some regular visitors ~ of the animal variety. We have at least 4 bluebird couples who enjoy our front yard and roof.

And of course, on of our gophers in the backyard. Always entertaining to watch.
