The last several days have been ones of significant change in the countryside around our town. Just last week, this bean field was a dark green; this morning, it shows the change of the season as it has yellowed and will soon begin the drying process that will result in harvest next month.
Many trees are already showing reds, yellows, and golds as they begin the ever-hastening lurch toward full fall colors.
The habits of wildlife are in full change mode as well. Deer are largely absent as they can read in the Star Tribune that bow season starts this Saturday, followed by other opportunities for them to be shot by two-legged pursuers.
Waterfowl are doing practice runs for migration as they fly high overhead from one body of water to another. Small songbirds are gorging themselves on seeds and berries as they load up for the trip south.
I even noted an old photographer headed to Shalom, our great thrift store, to update his autumn wardrobe, where he will splurge and buy the latest warm fashions for $3 each, which will look an awful lot like his last year's fashion.
If you like the change of seasons in Minnesota, this is a good time. If you find yourself dreading the coming winter, I already like you.

Consequences in the Netherlands It is also getting warmer in the Netherlands and the sea level is rising. The main consequences of climate change for the Netherlands: The weather is becoming more extreme: more heavy showers, more heat waves. There is a greater risk of flooding: the rivers and sewers are no longer able to drain the water properly during heavy rainfall. Nature in the Netherlands is changing: species that originally come from warmer areas, feel more and more at home in the Netherlands. Well-known examples are the oak processionary caterpillar, the small hermit crab, certain tick species and the "hay fever plant" Ambrosia. Another effect is that spring starts earlier: plants bloom earlier, trees sprout earlier, insects appear earlier and birds breed earlier in the year. This can cause problems, for example for migratory birds that missed the insect peak upon arrival in the Netherlands and cannot find enough food. Species that cannot adapt quickly enough to changing circumstances run the risk of disappearing. There are also advantages: we can grow other vegetable and plant species because they will do better in the Netherlands. Winters are getting milder; it will freeze less often. It is getting wetter: in the spring, autumn and winter there is more rainfall. Summers are getting drier and hotter. There are more summer and tropical days. In the Netherlands, the consequences of climate change can probably be controlled. We can strengthen dikes and dunes and create storage areas along rivers for extra river water. You can also help to limit waterlogging by applying fewer tiles and more greenery in your garden. Rainwater can then sink into the soil, so that the sewer is less overloaded (so: less flooded basements and streets).
That special day.
you remember it.
22-12-2007, there was frozen fog on the trees and a blue sky. It was just a few hours. It was marvelous.
Nature changes now. For some beings it is cold, while some enjoy this low temperatures and moist environments. We are all important, somehow...

Welcome to my word for 2019. How and what are you going to change this year? Your style, attitude, bad habits? Be the change you want to see in the world.
Throughout millennia evil used to hide its own existence as a defense strategy. Now there is a Change:
Evil publicly manifests its scheme in broad daylight now, right in front of everyone’s face!

Changement
Pendant des millénaires, le mal cachait sa propre existence comme stratégie de défense. Maintenant, il y a un changement :
Le mal manifeste publiquement son schéma en plein jour maintenant, juste devant le visage de tout le monde !
Ok, Tip of the day, and one of my best one. (This is what you see in my tutorials, how I work on my photos.)
Always look at a photo in layers, like let´s say we have a landscape pic of a ground, a mountain and a sky. Each part has its own layer, because sometimes you want to brighten the ground, the mountain might be good as it is, and then the sky could be darker. Then you erase or mask out the other parts of the pic, like in the sky one, you mask out everything but the sky ect...
Like in this picture, the sky got two layers, because so much is going on there.
We haven't been to Dauset Trails Nature Center since the pandemic over 2 years now. So, since things are opening up we decided it was time for a short trip, and a much needed change of scenery!
Our first stop was the Lotus Pond at the edge of the woods, and just a short walk from the parking lot. The gazebo is new but that bench to the right is much closer and offers a better view. And, what a view, too. The pond with all the lotus blooming seemed bigger and better than ever
*** It was a big ordeal, waking up early in order to beat the heat, packing iced water, bug spray, hats to block the sun, and of course our cameras! Still not sure what was worse - the heat or the waking up early part?!

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
a Maned Forest Lizard (Bronchocela jubata). Many lizards, not just chameleons have the ability to change colour to match their surrounds. I was lucky enough to find this forest lizard do just that as we watched; awesome. Sepilok, Sabah.

Canadian Pacific train 284 was passing underneath the B12 signal bridge at Edgington in Franklin Park in 2003.
CEFX SD9043MAC 121 was sold to Norfolk Southern and rebuilt into SD70ACU 7333.
The Indiana Harbor Belt tracks in the foreground have since been removed and relocated to the east as part of the Grand Avenue underpass project.
Looks like lots of evergreen trees along the riverside but, of course, there are many that show the seasonal change more than others!

Yes, I'm Changing - Tame Impala

There is another future waiting there for you
I saw it different, I must admit
I caught a glimpse, I'm going after it
...
Yes I'm changing, can't stop it now
And even if I wanted I wouldn't know how
Another version of myself I think I found, at last
And I can't always hide away
...
I recently read a very well written Onlandscape article by Joe Cornish on photography and environmentalism. Many of my thoughts and concerns were echoed and rather poignantly one of my current projects is documenting the gradual destruction of local sea defences. I can't help but wonder if we are witnessing the beginning of something that humanity isn't remotely prepared for.
There's nothing constant in the world,
all ebb and flow, and every shape that's born
bears in its womb the seeds of change.

Taken just below Slieve Binnian's North Torr. Nice time of the year with the browns and reds giving way to the greens.
