An hour before sunrise

Cold and dark and moody out this morning. Trying out the Nikon D5300 for these photos… need to figure out the manual mode for better results, but I like these anyway taken in full auto with flash turned off.

Winter is on the way…

Cold out this morning, down into the 30’s F. No snow on the mountain but I bet we get some in the next week. All the leaves are falling. A few trees holding on to them though.

This tree is stunning with the mountains in the background.

And the slugs were out

The temperature dipped

The clouds rolled in

The rain came

The mist clung low to the mountains

And the slugs were out

The leaves turned and fell

Covering the paths

And sidewalks

And lawns

And the slugs were out

The smell of decay

The shortening of the day

The slowing of life

Preparing for a winter’s slumber

And the slugs were out
