Juncos, song sparrows

I noticed juncos in my yard on Nov. 8, and saw song sparrows foraging today (song sparrows are allegedly here year around, but I only notice them in winter, so maybe my neighborhood ones do come from the north, since they are in fact migratory.)

Twin Peaks Jack-o'-lantern

I really like how this one turned out.

Some treasure I found hiking a couple of weeks ago. Aren't they gorgeous?

Phone

 Just now trying to figure out how to post a blog entry from my new phone.

I've had plenty of pictures I wanted to post, but couldn't.

Still trying to figure it out.

Maybe I'm out of photo space.

Neighborhood chicken

I was surprised to see some chickens under the hedge next door. I gave a little help to the lady two doors up, shooing them back to her yard.

Skipper & bee

Partridge pea

I was ambivalent about them at first, but I'm now pretty fond of the partridge pea plants in my yard.
