At waters edge
Autumn days spent at waters edge looking across a lake or down the rivers path. Grasses slowly gone from green to gold, clouds have replaced the sun and the winds seem to have picked ever so slightly each day as if to give winter its waking breath.

Sometimes abrupt and sometimes gradual, change is something we can count on, and it sure is good to have something we can count on.
More Mantids
We recently came across numerous mantids in a field of golden fall grasses near us. These Mantids dressed in gold were so well camouflaged they were hard to see at all. It was only when they took flight we were able to follow them to their landing spots and get a good glimpse of these wonderful insects. A fun way to spend a bit of time on an Autumn afternoon.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Sniffing Snowberries
A young Black Bear using their extraordinary sense of smell takes some time stop and sniff the berries. Snowberries to be exact. He decided to pass but snowberries are an important food source for many birds in winter. Snowberries are also but considered poisonous to humans.
