Some days you may get a pretty sunrise but not a pretty sunset especially when the clouds roll with the approaching rain.

The above temperature this December Saturday may have been a good time to get one last hike in to visit waterfalls before the colder temperatures and the snow piles up. Even tiny waterfalls are a nice place to sit and listen to the falling water.

It appears this fox is looking at something like maybe what the weather will be for this December and whether its fur coat will be warm enough next week when the colder temperatures arrive.

The last day of November brought sunshine and above average temperatures (course the average high temperature is only 31 now). But the low sun angle does not provide real bright sunshine or warmth and the freezing night do not allow any flowers to bloom outside.

The cool, wet fall did not help the crops to dry down and during this corn harvest season, there are long lines at the corn drying facilities and even causing some propane shortages. Some farmers who can feed ground cob corn to livestock may pick the ears and crib it to allow the moisture content to lower for storage.

It probably would have been a nice walk along a sandy beach on a warm late November sunny day but with winds gusting to 40 mph, the water wouldn’t have been calm and waves would have been rolling into shore.

A walk on my trails this afternoon, when the temperature reached 55, felt like an early spring day except the remaining leaves on the apple trees were brown instead of green and there was no white blossoms or yellow dandelions growing in green grass.

After the fall equinox occurs, I can’t take a sunset picture from my normal spot because of power lines and houses so I have to hike out into the field more. But I haven’t done that during the deer hunting season since I don’t have a blaze orange jacket to wear just to take a sunset picture.

Even with the sun out, on a late fall day there isn’t much color to be found without flowers blooming. The pink of wild roses can be seen in the summer but even their colors are only displayed a short time before they fade and drop their petals on the ground.

The nice brief rise in temperature today would have made a nice day to take a hike to visit a waterfall, at least it would have been before the afternoon rains came. The lower falls of Gooseberry Falls can have very light water flow in late fall compared to spring melt time.
