Sky Watch Friday - Beautiful Autumn Day

I live in a rural area, however I am about a 40 minute walk (at my present pace) from town. I love the walk, especially when you can stop and take in scenes like this :-) They are all taken with my less than satisfactory cell phone camera. Am looking forward to getting my new Canon SX50 in a few weeks. It's getting harder and harder, locally, to find film for my old SLR camera and the cost of developing is getting expensive in a number of ways. I am thinking that the Canon is going to be a good substitute until I can afford a DSLR :-)

Looking across a field with cattle ... Mt Ranier in the distance.

Zooming in on Mt Rainier ...unfortunately it makes the photo a bit grainy. I caught the flick of the tail as the cow swatted away an annoying insect :-)

Peacefully grazing on an idyllic Autumn day...

Mt Rainier peeking through the trees and shrubs along the bike and walking trail..

Friday Foto Fiesta - I Think I Can See Autumn !!!

It's Friday and it's a Fiesta !! At least it is, thanks to Candid Carrie ! :-)



Clouds are providing welcome coolness and a change from a hot, blue and dry sky. I never thought, until I came to Reno, that I'd be bored with constant sunshine !!


Bright berries are appearing ....


The leaves on trees, bushes and vines are turning glorious shades of red, orange and yellow...


And Scarecrows and other decorations are appearing on house porches and in front yards ...

All this points to Autumn having arrived. One of my favourite times of the year !

What's your favourite time ?
