It is delightful to watch this Tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) collect one safflower seed, take it to the maple tree, peck at the seed's shell, consume, then back to the feeder.
This shows a nice selection of some red autumn leaves at Harlow Pond in Central Maine. (image 34A4135) Please also visit: acadiamagic.com.

More buds bursting forth on one of our maple trees as the rains were winding down. Lichen on tree trunk in background in this one. Taken while still raining a little and the sun just starting to come out. And yes, these will make a mess and fill the rain gutters soon. :) Some not in sharp focus but saving for now since not much else to photo. More storms and very rain starting tonight for a couple of days. :( A very small tornado hit about 10 miles from us causing only minor damage 1 1/2 hours before these photos, one downside to the beauty of Spring along with possible flooding issues, etc.
Have a walk in the autumn. Feel the leaves under your feet. Admire the colour over your head. Listen to the sound of the breezes.. Embrace the mood with your heart.
Have a great day!

This is one of the trees in my front yard and it has tiny flowers before the seed develop.. Some call them Helicopters others call them Keys and all in all they are just the seed and If you aren't careful you will have a lot more maple tree starts... Happy Sliders Sunday, Everybody!!
This Indigo bunting briefly stopped by the pond looking for some action. Yesterday must have been a transition with lots of starlings and grackles stopping by again.
It's my favorite time of year. A gorgeous day, sunny, warm, light breeze, leaves crunching under-foot. Perfection.
Seen here, and I didn't even notice at first...nicely done :)
Maple sap stalactite. This sap tongue is about 7-8 inches long with a dribble of over a foot down this tree. An unusually warm winter has confused the trees and the sap is running hard, heavy, and a bit early.
I love finding little points of color in the forest. This one was hanging out near the road, and while the sun had technically set behind the mountains, the tree's light colored leaves and other lighter vegetation were still picking up ambient light. I had to tone this one down a bit--the contrast of the yellow leaves was overwhelming!
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
The heavy winds and rains have stripped most of the trees now leaving them barren looking.
Fall has come swiftly and the weather has changed.
I call this next 'season' the Brown Season.
This American crow paused to do some preening after its bath in the stream. The window blind makes it almost level with the branches of this Maple tree. While I liked the color version, somehow the all black bird called out for some BW treatment.
Same Wood fern 13 days later. I enjoy the change of season into Autumn with it's crisp air and beautiful colors.
Seeds of maple trees ripening in an old forest in the Scottish Cairngorms. I've always loved them, they are a piece of natural super engineering :)

More commonly referred to as “helicopters,” “whirlers,” “twisters” or “whirligigs,” samaras are the winged seeds produced by maple trees. All maples produce samaras, but red, silver and Norway maples often produce the largest quantities.
The tree that produces these beauties is in my yard and I was trying for a different angle, that is looking straight up at them. Anyway, just playing around! LOL Happy Sabbath to all and may your day be blessed! :)
Autumn in the Big Quilcene River valley. This is one of my favorite views of the river, doesn't matter the season.
How man autumns and winters does a sapling endure before it's a sapling no more? Which makes me wonder what season causes the most stress on a tree?
