Nature Notes: It's beginning to feel like autumn

I may be weird but it's nice to have the weather getting chilly enough to wear a sweater inside.

I'm ready for fall and even winter this year.

We've had a lot of fluctuation in temperatures. Last night was in the low 40s F and today only got to  the mid 50s F.

Slowly but surely it's beginning to look like fall.

I like the mix and contrast in the trees below. Much of the green are the evergreens which don't change.

The dogwoods are a rainbow of colors as I look through the leaves.

I love how soft the male cardinals feathers are in the next shot.

The cardinal is so exquisite . It's a pity we haven' t got this beautiful bird in the Netherlands. Thanks for sharing these photos! Have a great day!

Our autumn is turning into feeling like winter now...frost on the ground this morning. Our birds are pretty much gone now, not too many left.

No wonder you're ready for Fall! It's so pretty at your house. I wish we had cardinals. The fan-like tail is amazing.
