Some winter sunsets can be pretty but they are also often very cold and the camera battery doesn’t last long in the colder temperatures (and sometimes the photographer doesn’t stay outside in the cold either).

While most corn is combined these days, there are still some farmers who pick the corn to feed ground cob corn to steers and each fall it is a gamble with the weather waiting for the corn to dry down to a moisture level which the corn can be stored in a crib and before the snow gets too deep to get in the fields with the corn picker. On wet years, sometimes they have to wait until the ground freezes so they don’t bury the tractor and equipment in the fields.
The mature cob corn might not be very appealing to us who want the nice juicy sweet corn in the summer, but the critters like this corn including the squirrels and birds that also eat on the corn in the crib.

The temperature for yesterday’s Thanksgiving was the coldest since 1930. I sure would have rather be looking at the ice caves yesterday if it was going to be that cold instead of snowing snow in the very chilly air.

It looks like this turkey is trying to sneak quietly through the woods to avoid being the main course at someone’s Thanksgiving dinner.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!

While I prefer sunny days, a cloudy autumn day (especially a warm day) is much better than a cloudy winter day (especially a cold day with several inches of snow predicted)!

The sun might be out today but it is not peeking through bright, colorful leaves as there are only a few brown oak and apple leaves left on the trees and it is not a warm sunshine either. Course I only have to wait another 10 to 11 months before seeing the autumn leaves again.

Water can exist in three phases (solid, liquid and gas) and found in different locations (in the air, on the surface or below the ground). Well I’m not overly happy watching water falling in the form of snow blowing pass my window this morning. I much rather see the water falling in the form of a river and waterfall instead!

It seems like in photography to get a good picture is 99% luck and I didn’t have good luck with this church picture for the timing of taking an autumn scene. The hillsides were changing into their colorful array on my way to an appointment until I got to the church where only a hint of color was showing and since it was too early in the day, the sun hadn’t moved into the correct position yet but at least the clouds were pretty that day so one out of three pieces fell in place. I wasn’t able to get back to the area later to get the full color but maybe next year I will have better luck.

Sitting by a stream on a Saturday summer day sounds good right about now since I am tired of winter already and wouldn’t even mind sharing it with other people, even a rock family!

Today is a little chilly to sit very long on this nice sitting porch but some day maybe it will warm up again to enjoy the warm summer breeze.
