The goldfish pond looks great. I'm glad I reattached the water barrel. The more water, the better – it protects the critters. There are three baby goldfish, several frogs, and a water beetle in there.
We've sunk below zero, and the rain was followed by snow. Just a touch. Here is my summary of our November weather!
I went out after the clouds cleared off. The hornet's nest had been blown off the branch. It was quite soggy, with all the rain, and it fell with a splat on the ground. It is quite delicate, and a lovely pattern.
I've had fun trying to video a buck at this year's buck scrape. I finally got one. I replaced the spent battery, reformatted the SD Card, and put it on the correct setting.

...just rain and wind here.
ReplyDeleteI got. Now alert this morning. It was supposed to have started already but it hasn’t.
ReplyDeleteMating rituals are so interesting.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly got a lot of rain yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThe hornet's nest is pretty on the outside. A bit spooky to be holding it, even though the critters are gone. It'd be easier for the buck to just splash some aftershave on. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI find this weather has been keeping me inside these days so it is nice to see your shots of your wanders.
ReplyDeleteThat hornet's nest is a masterly piece of architecture.
ReplyDeleteLove the buck and sunset. Happy December, I hope this winter is not too cold.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
Your buck is very stately and beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSome idiot illegally shot deer on our Turkey Mountain over the weekend. Lots of people angry about that!!
That wasp nest is amazing work, nature’s engineers. The videos were great also. Love the header shot if I haven’t mentioned it before. The weather link was very interesting too. Beautiful skies out there. Happy December Jenn :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the pose the buck has taken for your last photo.
ReplyDeleteLove the capture of the buck!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely pattern on that downed hornet's nest. I've never heard of a deer scrape before. Courting and mating. HMM!
ReplyDeleteI was riding here with my friend from London (ON) in her car and the thermometer read -1. I thought of you and your fish and hope all remain well for the winter!
ReplyDeleteWe don't do snow tires here since snow is rare and not generally heavy or long-lasting when it does come. I had an aunt who had an old hornet nest in her home. Fascinating! The deer look stately.
ReplyDeleteSunset was indeed lovely :)
ReplyDeleteHappy December wishes.
All the best Jan
