Scenes from September

The patterns of colors emerge slowly at first.
As fields ripen and the cool days return, the colors intensify and transform the landscape.
Nature is busy gathering stores for the winter months ahead.
This is a good example of the season and how it looks
Many wood piles like this are on display as people pepare to offset the high cost of home heating in the coming months.
It takes thousands of leaves like this to put on the foliage production we enjoy every year.
Another September classic, even the wind rows of freshly cut hay have fall color in them!
The baby turtles are hatching this month and emerging from their underground nest.
When the air gets cool and crisp in the fall it also gets exceptionally clear.
Fall is harvest time and there is an abundance of produce to enjoy.

Nice pictures...but where did you get the "underground nest"? It kind of looks like turtle soup headed for the canner!

Fall is my favorite time of year.

You almost started making me homesick for New England until I remembered what follows fall! You are taking good advantage of the photo opportunities while you still have a few hours of daylight left. Soon the "short days" will be upon you...

Mark,
You could almost smell the crisp fall air in the photos you've captured. Looks like your garden has been very generous to you. Beautiful pics! Have you seen the new D90 with video mode? When I hit the lotto I will be getting one.
