This October scene caught my eye.
A young boy stops his bike overlooking the Pumpkin Farm.
Meanwhile a young lady is captured taking a photo of a pumpkin with her cell phone.
Her partner appears to be lost in thought.
Remnants of summer corn border the country property.
Thanks for viewing

This barn appears to have been patched up many times over the years. The roof, the sides, the additions. It all makes for a unique look. The dusting of snow adds a nice touch as well!

(I'm back from a short break - slowly trying to catch up!)
Selective focus on one bud on my Winter Gladioli which are providing much needed colour in the garden at the moment.
Spare a thought for Queensland again facing major flooding for the 3rd time this year. And at such a late stage in the year!
I'll be off for a couple of days so will hopefully be able to comment & respond to comments next week.

Having completed a brief stop after cresting the summit at Sand Patch, Pennsylvania, four second-generation geeps get a westbound pig train moving.
It is that time of year and the pumpkin patches are busy with families getting out to enjoy our lovely fall weather. I had to get out early yesterday to get a couple of shots before the crowds descended. Maan Farm Market, Abbotsford, B.C.
Both boxcars seen here are patched for Conrail. The white one is former LV while the other is obviously former NYC (thus former Penn Central).
These are cars I weathered and patched and I'm running them on a friend's railroad for his first-ever open house.
Everyone likes to joke around that The Zed Patch has real zeds (zombies) in it; that they come out at night.
Is it real? Of course its a real place! Its just a dark, dead patch in the middle of the woods where nothing seems to grow.
But as for the zeds? Well its just a rumor but something must be said: people DO go missing out there; especially those who venture out alone.
So if you dare venture out to The Zed Patch at night, bring a flashlight, watch out where you're walking, and bring a friend.
After all, there are a lot of zeds...and they are hungry.
Thank you to Vin Raven-Mysterious for collaborating with me and creating the custom poses! Check out his other dark. alternative, and unique poses and phenomenal photography in People in Photo: Be My Mannequin? Pose Store!
Red Shouldered Hawk taking off from his perch on the branches behind him. You can really see that red shoulder here.
Thank you all for your comments, support and group invites!
Celery Fields in Sarasota, FL
This weekend we were treated to patches of ice on Georgian Bay. The inner harbour had the large geometric ice shapes near the ships. This section of the harbour had these soft mounds of snow covering thin ice. By Friday, it will be all gone again.
This sharply attired black-and-white starling has a pointed yellowish bill with an orange base. Mainly black upperparts with white belly and white rump noticeable in flight. Note the bare, deep orange patch around its eye that contrasts with its white cheek. Easternmost birds have a white, streaked forehead. Seen in loose flocks close to human habitation feeding on human refuse. Garbage dumps, damp grazing lands, and well-watered parks are its favoured haunts. Noisy with a variety of calls that includes mimicked sounds of other birds. (eBird)

As we were getting organized to start the morning's birding, this lovely starling flew into the trees along the highway and sang briefly. A great start to Dubai birding.
Ras al-Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, Dubai, UAE. March 2024.
An eastbound Union Pacific coal train exits the Moffat Tunnel at East Portal, Colorado, on October 2, 2008. The lead locomotive is a former Chicago & North Western GE AC4400CW that is now patched and renumbered UP No. 6718. The strange off-center yellow patch and UP logo on the nose is allowing a peek at the famous C&NW ball and bar logo.
