Nature | October 2026

 I have a small selection this month. Just one Morning Glory and two pictures of orange maple leaves. Our weather has been unseasonably warm this year. We haven't had temperatures dip below freezing yet and we are at the end of October. It's hard to believe!

I enjoyed seeing this Morning Glory one morning, even though I tend to think of Morning Glories as invasive weeds. The blossom looked up from under the overgrowth, very timid and unassuming, and I was grateful to see it's cheering color. It's delicate petals seemed to say, "I am no threat to you. Please like me."

Our neighbors have a brilliant Sugar Maple tree. It puts on a spectacular display of color every year. I can never get a good picture. I try and try, on different days with different lighting, but it never comes out quite right. These two pictures are the best representation that I could capture.

I hope you are having a good fall! 30 days until Thanksgiving. We can't wait!
