Nature Notes: Cooling down and daily changes

It's beginning to cool down a lot and feels more and more like fall.

There aren't many trees that have fall colors.

Every time I see autumn leaves I'm photographing them because the novelty hasn't worn out yet.

We won't reach peak colors for quite a while.

I always like to see seeds this time of the year.

Seeds and berries are as much of a welcome part of fall for me as the colorful leaves are.

It interests me how some trees change colors almost a month ahead of other trees in the same location.

We've had a few sunny days for a change.

We've also had some hard rains.

 My yard is such a jungle at this point I'm going to try to do fall cleanup this year.

The porcelain vines (shown below) are very invasive and have popped up everywhere. I planted them to grow on my deck wall with other vines, not realizing how prolific they were.

Happy Autumn! It's looking beautiful already at your place. I like watching the colors change gradually (although we're not nearly as far along here as you are even)....It is too bad the porcelain berries didn't work out so well, they're really pretty (if only they knew their place!)

We had a couple of days last week where the high was tolerable...and cool for our area. But today it's gonna be another scorcher I'm afraid. :o(

Loved your photos. Autumn is a favorite time of year.
