October Nature Pictures

October is one of the beautiful months of the year when it comes to color in the landscape! Although I have to admit it has been difficult to capture a lot of nature photographs because of all the rain. But yesterday was sunny and mild, the perfect day to take a walk around our property and look for good pictures!

 

Josiah had fun making a bird feeder earlier this week with a pine cone, peanut butter, and sunflower seeds. So far there haven’t been too many takers, as we’ve had a bully Blue-Jay sitting at the feeder most of the day.

Despite the many hard freezes we’ve had the past several weeks, a few zinnias are still trying desperately to maintain their blooms!

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build . . .” Ecclesiastes 3:1-3

I love brilliant yellow leaves!

Does anyone know what this is? It is growing on a vine. It almost looks like some type of cucumber, except hollow and really spiky. I’m guessing it’s some type of ornamental cucumber?

After a month, our sedum is still going strong. The color has really deepened, which makes it even more beautiful in my opinion!

We will see what November brings for nature pictures. We could be here, or we could be in Texas! We’ll just have to wait and see!
