Tall Grasses and Ponies

The wild ponies are the tiny spots in the upper right, far in the distance. This was taken in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, found on the Virginia side of Assateague Island. (Here’s a list of previous posts from the park.)

Burn Baby Burn

The maple trees try to convince us that they’re on fire, and we almost believe them.

October Colors at the Farm

Still A Few Pumpkins Left

I love the thin layer of Christmas trees spread between the pumpkin patch and the fall foliage.

Changing Maple Leaves

These leaves usually change rapidly from green to bright red. It usually gives the room a pink glow, having this enormous red tree outside the window. This year the leaves are changing quite slowly. So, no pink glow, but interesting to watch the slow progression from green to red.

Hydrangeas in Fall

I have never noticed the beauty that the hydrangeas have to offer in fall. You can’t help but see their bright colors in summer. They have been in the same spot for years. It’s just been me, not seeing what is hiding in plain sight.

I Think It’s Sorghum

I passed this beautiful field a few weeks ago and I think it’s sorghum growing. I learned about sorghum syrup when I spent some time in the South, but I recently learned that the grains are edible, too. Some even say it’s a supergrain, with more health benefits than quinoa. I haven’t tried sorghum grain, but I will be on the lookout for it.

It’s pretty, even if it ends up not tasting good.

Hurry Home, Bugs

Don’t you feel the cold weather coming?
