I found two ribbon snakes moving along the grass by the driveway. Only one permitted me a photograph! They were both about 20+cm. Also, a youngish watersnake that was run over. We have a bazillion crickets, yum yum for the snakes, who will soon hibernate.
I found an abandoned hornet's nest up in the tree! We had some another year, but they had black and white abdomens. iPhoto says they are vespa crabro. Either way, they be done shortly. The queen hides underground over winter and raises new workers for next year.
I do love the colours of the trees. These were taken through the bathroom window. The light is reflected into the room, for now.
Soon it will look like this!

I touched up my chair. It was Australian Timber Oil. (Non-mental note!)
