Adios

On October 30, 2015November 18, 2015 By Mike and Christy8 Comments

Just as this Bee said adios to the flower we have said adios to our prolonged indian summer. A few light frosts and the lack of sunlight have done in the veggie garden for the year. Yet compared to previous years the mild fall allowed things to grow a few weeks longer and that means one last bowl of fresh tomato soup for dinner tonight.

Red Tailed on a grey day

We seemed to have settled into a very late fall like weather pattern as of late with sunshine appearing mid-morning then giving way to cloudy afternoon skies. We spotted this good looking Red Tailed Hawk on one of those cloudy afternoons perched on the remnants of a very fall looking tree.

Siesta

A female Mallard settled down for a late afternoon siesta. As the days get shorter and shorter a nice little midweek siesta seems in order.

Gateway

A colorful gateway just seemed to be asking me to follow a lesser traveled path into the forest. Did I listen..yes I did, and had some fun along the way. Along Clear Creek, Denver, CO.

Sweet Finch

A sweet female house finch hanging around looking for the bird feeders which we have yet to put out in an attempt to keep the squirrels out of the remaining tomatoes in the garden. Our first frost is a bit overdue this fall.

In a forest that felt Black and White a lone Cottonwood leaf has fallen but has yet to hit the ground. Clear Creek Greenbelt in Wheatridge, CO. Around here summer is gone but still hanging on.

Male Mallards always seem happy to allow a photographer a quick portrait and I am always thankful for that moment.

Hillside

Fall color breathing life into the foothills outside of Denver on a cloudy and somewhat dreary afternoon. Perhaps we can find sunshine on a rainy day.
