The trees are not hiding much of the sunset now that the strong gusts of wind yesterday seemed to rip any remaining leaves off the limbs and deposited some of the fallen leaves into my pond.
The sunshine today did not feel very warm with the winds gusting over 40 mph that caused ripples on a little creek so I imagine there were some waves on the bigger lakes.
The day remained cloudy but it probably will be one of the last days in the 60s for the year as winter is approaching too fast, so it was a good day to do some last minute outdoor activities including exploring the parks.
The strong winds today caused a lot of the oak leaves to fall, which normally hang on longer into winter. My lawn was covered in brown leaves as the colorful red and orange maple leaves are long gone and only a few poplar yellow leaves dotted the lawn.
As the new month starts, most of the trees have lost their leaves as winter approaches, but it was a good day to catch a nap in the sunshine while the temperature was in the upper 60s.
This scarecrow is a crow and it looks like it scared the little scarecrow as she has covered her eyes with her hair so she wouldn’t have to look at the big crow.
