SUNDAY AFTERNOON

 The afternoon of the 22nd began with overcast skies.

Back deck and Benny's Maple


Mr. Burning Bush finally turning...a bit.

Continued hooliganism targeting the tithonia in the East Garden.

Mr. Koi flying in front of golden little birch set against a dark pine.

Mr. Birch has shed quite a bit of his leaves.

Then, the sun came out.

Johnny's burning bushes looking fabulous

Things were hopping at the Diner complex-the giving stone, feeder and bath/spa! A wide spectrum of avians: M/M Blue Jay, M/M Cardinal, M/M Downy Woodpecker (Lil' Woody), Red-Bellied Woodpecker (Big Woody), Finches, Sparrows, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Juncos and Tufted Titmice. 

Big Woody

Even a Robin!

Is Mr. Robin one of those who overwinter? They do love crab apples and our tree has a bumper crop (as do those in the neighborhood).

 Mr. Big Bun sat in the shadows performing his toilette.







The light frosts have turned the hostas yellow
