Autumn joy

This is how Thursday began: a tad chilly. We expect a high of 22 C., though. Weird variation in temperatures. I could see my breath this morning. Still no rain. I must water the garden today. 


I toodled on down to the trailcams. Hooray for BirdNET. They told me this was the flicker. That makes sense.

It seems logical, –look who I caught on the nearby camera!

I heard phoebe in the forest yesterday. While many birds have left, or are leaving soon, we have many that stay.

I was on the back deck, reading under a blanket. It was too hot in the sun out front, too cool in the shade out back! Cinnamon hung out with me. If you watch the video to the end, you'll see him washing up, and a fuzzy caterpillar was looking for the hops vine. The caterpillar seemed to be following him, and he jumped up in fear.

iPhotos created a movie for me of fall colours. They music they add is quite lovely.

    Hmmmm certainly dramatic... I preferred the windchimes over Cinnamon's head! Gorgeous colours as to be expected from a Canadian autumn... YAM xx

  4. I've heard multiple pheobe voices in the woods around the house the past couple of days. No doubt they are gathering to fly.

  6. We haven't had anything approaching "chilly" for highs yet. In fact we're still getting some highs into the 90s.

    I am so happy you have trail cams and post videos :) Thx!

  9. Lovely to see all those beautiful fall colors and Cinnamon was so cute in the video. Fun listening to the birds also and enjoyed looking at your collectibles in your first photo. The rain is holding off down our way. Enjoy your weekend coming up, with good weather I hope. Thanks for another interesting post.

  11. The weather has been funky. They say today it will be 80 degrees here (Sunday) -- and hot the next few, then dropping temps. Go figure!
