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.

Have you ever lost or found loose pocket change under couch cushions?
This American Tree Sparrow was a first-of-season sighting for me. In our area, typically they arrive in the autumn soon after their similar-looking cousins, the Chipping Sparrows, disappear on their southerly migration.

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.

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 !
Looks like lots of evergreen trees along the riverside but, of course, there are many that show the seasonal change more than others!

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.

Deve estar beirando os seus 7 meses agora. E a cada dia fica mais sem vergonha.
Companheira e divertida, Isamonstra estĂ¡ sempre me arrancando boas risadas!
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.

Seasons are definitely changing. It’s a blustery, Sunny Autumn day at Chasewater, Staffordshire. There are heavy storm clouds arriving, with two storms forecast to hit the UK over the next few days. The large tree on the left is in flower and the bushes to the right have yet to go autumn gold.
Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) - male
After a brief walk yesterday it definitely felt like a change of season.
During the occasional sunny breaks Migrant Hawkers were hunting along the treeline and a couple of Southern Hawkers briefly took up patrol.
After the Migrant the most dominant species were Common Darters - one female reassuring me by landing upon my hand.
There's still a couple of places I need to revisit before the end of the month before I admit closure, so it ain't over yet!
Good morning everyone. Been on a roll lately. scale is moving, feelin good, lookin good, excited as can be to go practice soccer today !! Enjoy your saturday, especially if it is nice out where you are get some sun on a walk or run and feel that warmth on your face!
Took this at Raglan, the sun had just gone done. Really the title relates to watching the day change to night but also I got made redundant (due to finish in June, company closing also) a few months ago and have found a new job so big exciting changes ahead for me and a major relief!
This image is a big thanks to Sonja who has sent me some encouraging words whilst I was looking for work-cheers-no pink sorry though-hope its OK :-)
