Who goes there in the dark?

 It's that time of year. Flora and fauna are hunkering down for winter. Except, it's been a bit balmy for Autumn. That will change, and winter will unfold as it should. Wild temperatures... Not as bad as out west, as Red has said. 


I've put out my lights. I had a chance to see them as I was BBQing on the back deck and I heard noises by the road. Sure enough, I walked down with my flashlight and found two vans, three men and a flat tire. Apparently, they were on their way home from a job and the spare tire was under equipment. They were cheerful. I asked if they needed anything. They told me that lots of people had stopped, but they were just about done. I took a photo of my lights.

In the backyard, I've put lights around the water fountain.


The coyote was back. This time, the lights were still on. The trailcams only do black and white in the night.

Bunny came back, at great speed. It was a short sprint, and I repeated the frames in slow motion!

How nice to have your lights up to enjoy! I may change some decorations this week if it starts raining like they've predicted. Coyotes are interesting!

I have little solar lights all around outside - I like to look out and see bits of colour & light.

The lights are certainly festive. It's been such a long time since we've put up lights.
