dicksbro and Sassy Rose I just love those pics you guys posted...
Beautiful river shot Sassy and that oak leaf with the moss is cool..

Thx, M45. Glad you enjoyed.

& I thought only Tennessee was like that...around here we refer to the orange barrels as the State Flower! Except here, winter is no impediment to construction...

Gee, that's almost enough to make me like Michigan winters ...........almost..:eek: :D

Great pics Dicksbro and Sassy! The leaves are not turning color yet, neither do they fall much. We have a relatively mild winter and still have grass through most of it. But it's gonna be raining lots in the coming week and it's going to be like that for a while....................:rolleyes:

The weather in Nebraska (definitely NOT bragging about being here) is completely unpredictable. Usually I know fall/winter is here by waking up to the snow plow's blade scraping down the front street in a way that makes you squirm like fingernails down a chalkboard. That's how I normally figure on wearing a coat to work :)

~~Munk~~

M45 and Xanne, thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed the pics. Those were done last fall, but you can bet I'll be back out at it again in another month or so :) Outdoor photography is one of my escapes.

Here's one more from last fall...it is a windbreak that borders an orchard with the Horseheaven Hills in the background.

Wow guys.........TY, TY, TY! The responses to this thread are more than I had ever hoped! After I posted my thoughts that morning I had to rush off to work and I kept thinking all day, "I dunno....I think I think too much and they will just glance at the thread and move on". To my surpise and excitement.....you all came through with some wonderful responses!

TY to everyone and specially.......

SugarSprinkles..........ROFLMFAO! I know the look! I live in Pa. and when I travel the turnpike it is permeated with those beautiful orange cones and barrels........they spring up over night! I always wonder.....Who waters and fertilizes them? LOL!

db.........Wonderful pics babe! You have an incredible eye! Please feel free to post anything you like here and I have checked Sharni's thread and I love the pics there as well!

Sassy............Just incredible pics.....your son is an angel! TY for sharing the last Autumn.....I am looking forward to this one from you as well!

Everyone! TY for the glimpse into your world and please feel free to post anything that you can think of that pertains to your season change right here!

I'll try and keep a running reacord of the changes in my yard.........
 

Here, everything is still blooming and green.....but I bet not for too much longer.

I hate when this grass is done....
 

but it came back so full this year.........I just love it! I dare not touch it....makes me itch! LOL!

Canna's are in full bloom.......
 

Soon I will have to cut these back and dig up the bulbs to store over winter so they don't freeze. They multiply so much I will end up giving half of them away!

To ready for the season changes......
 

We decided to paint our barn. OMG! What was I thinking? LOL! This is the biggest job thus far since we bought the place 3 years ago. Here is the progression.........

Get off that ladder!
 

Oh, I hate that ladder! But the barn is huge! No other way to reach it.........That's a friend on the ground pacing and every now and then running to hold the ladder!

Painted.........
 

But no trim work done...........I will take more pics as it progresses!
