Early fall at Ogle Lake, Brown County State Park, Indiana. October 2024. This seems to be a popular time of the day for fishing here. There were a number of fishermen here this early evening.
September 22, the autumnal equinox, marks the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere, but the fall harvest begins early in the harsh continental climate of eastern Kazakhstan. By September 9, 2013, when the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite acquired this image, several fields were already harvested and bare. Others were dark green with pasture grasses or ripening crops. The fields fill the contours of the land, running long and narrow down mountain valleys and spreading in large squares over the plains.
Agriculture is an important segment of the economy in Kazakhstan: the country’s dry climate is ideal for producing high quality wheat for export. However, 61 percent of the country’s agricultural land is pasture for livestock. The area shown in this image, far eastern Kazakhstan near the Chinese border, is a minor wheat-growing region and may also produce sunflowers, barley, and other food crops.
An artifact of Soviet-era collective farms, most of the farms in Kazakhstan are large, covering more than 5,000 hectares (12,500 acres). Some of the larger fields in the image reflect the big business side of agriculture. However, family farms and small agriculture businesses account for 35 percent of the country’s agricultural production, and some of these are visible as well, particularly in the uneven hills and mountains.
Nearly all agriculture in Kazakhstan is rain fed. Farmers in this region have designed their fields to take advantage of rain flowing down hills, allowing the natural shape of the land to channel water to crops. The effect is a mosaic of green and tan with tones matching the natural vegetation in the mountains to the north.

Have a great day!
A lot of the leaves are down now but I spotted this yesterday.
I drove for the first time in a month on Thursday. Eye continues to improve slowly.
I LOVE this photo for one simple reason. I take soooooooo many photos of my niece. She hates smiling photos. HATES them. She will almost never smile. However, tonight we were taking the fall installment of her senior photos. I had her lay on the sidewalk, downtown, in a pile of leaves. There was a stop light right by us, and a car pulled up. These guys started asking if she was okay, and joking around with her. They were cracking her up. I guess we did look a bit weird, but the result was perfect. I got a genuine, beautiful smile.....one that even got her stamp of approval.
Oh, yeah, and it fits into the SYWBPP lottery theme. Yay!!
Some pretty leaves in bidwell park! The leaves are just starting to turn in the park! Dont forget to look up or you will miss out!
This is a transition shot, no aspen; I was caught in this winter lamenting the failed fall and turning to dead plant matter. Again, this year I was "fall"ing short of capturing a decent leaf fall. I have done leaf shots in the past and missed one this year so I intentionally went to the Longmont Cemetery to find one. Most of the leaves had been cleared but the oaks were being stingy at giving it up for winter. I admit that I didn't expect this autumn to come near any of the previous years and it hasn't, but this is still a good "resting place" for dead leaves and humanity, the good and the scofflaws. Both become equal in the eyes of the bacteria. This is simply a composition of similar and subtle color contrasts... dead leaves. Many colors, even blues, are here, but barely. I worked to get this just right... for my eye. I guess I will have to check to see if anything is left at Mac Lake.
This is another shot that captures and controls a low range of light, easy editing. Two layers DO NOT flatten a scene when both layers contain lengthened ranges. I now need to look for new possible locations because autumn lapsed this year. I wander here periodically and take detail shots that are available at any time.
We left fall behind and are now pushing for spring as we are pushing that polar vortex out east, grin. Owwwe, chilblains.
I don't think we will ever see colours like this in the UK.

Despite the fact that it was 96 yesterday, fall seems to be approaching quickly. Y Mountain, Utah County, Utah.

I took this shot in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin in Northern Door County. It is one of the most photographed scenes in Door County. It is a beautiful view anytime, but fall provides an awesome display of color. If you have the time, please View On Black Large
Rain and leaves pounding down. As a kid you may ask "Why is it called Fall?" Over the years you get the answer.
Another fall visitor to the water feature in our yard.
Similar to the spring plumage which means it isn't one of the confusing fall warblers.
Setophaga americana
The oldest recorded Northern Parula was a female, and at least 5 years, 11 months old, when she was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Maryland.
It is amazing how Iphone picture can turn out. Even more amazing a girl like this can be @ the Buttermilk Fall!!
New Jersey is so much better than New York. :D
This week there is no official challenge for Monday Photo Challenges and Thursday Retreads'.We to take a lot of pics and post your favorite of the whole darn bunch. Sounds simple enough. Here is my entry.
This was a quick snap of Hannah just to check my lighting before a photo shoot this past week. I thought it was cute.
