Sunday Snapshots: October scenes

Fall Colour
The front yard, with soon-to-be thumb blisters.

Forest
Forests in autumn always look best backlit.

Grackles
Flocks of icterids on the move. We had a few hundred blackbirds and grackles pause in our trees this morning.

Fall Colour
Blisters, still on the trees.

British Soldier Lichen
British Soldier Lichen. Though they "bloom" all year, my anecdotal observation suggests they kick it up in autumn.

Milkweed Fluff
Santa Claus wishes making their way north.
