Picture-A-Week-2016 - Week 43

Pictures taken between Monday, October 17 and Sunday, October 23.

Our summer was super hot with little rain. Thus the fall foliage is terrible around here. Most of the trees have brown leaves -- no color to them.

But we had one section of a tree that did produce some pretty colors.

Haven't had a chance to take pics yet, but I did take one from the plane.

The dog wanted in on the action.

Great pictures.

I didn't buy any mums this year.

Thanks.

We cut way back on the flowers this year. Just a few to add some color to the yard.

One more photo from this week.

Where there's smoke, there's usually some kind of tasty food in the process of getting tastier. In this case, it is billows of apple wood smoke turning our latest batch of bacon into something special.

Where There's Smoke...

More fall color!

Went waterfall hunting last weekend.

It's been so hot and dry this summer and autumn most of the falls are almost dry.

Weekend wildlife time again - from this past weekend, when Florida actually got 1-2 days of 'cool front' weather, which meant it was only in the mid-80s instead of mid-90s and with the humidity cut in half. Mix of lenses used on the Sony A6300 body - either the Tamron 150-600mm or the Sony FE70-300mm G OSS:

Fluffy little pied-billed grebe (Tamron):

Squawking monk parakeet (Sony):

Lovely green heron (Sony):

Anhinga with a big fish catch (Sony):

"walk this way, talk this way...wal"...oh wait, maybe don't walk this way - there appears to be something laying in the path!:
