This and that from the Late Summer Woods

Back into my archives of my many summer and late summer
photos, so that I can still share them with you.

Right now, all is white outside of my U.P. windows,
but I took so many pictures last summer and fall
that I figured I didn't want them to go to waste, right???



Blue heron in flight:







A shot up a little closer:







Remember full, green canopies?
The leaves have all changed colors
and dropped off now....(sigh!):







And, sweet dragonflies are but memories now:








This shot reminds me that I have to strap on some snowshoes
and go and take some winter waterfall shots, SOON!:







Fireweed....its blossoms climbing to the top, to tell us summer is about over:








A hawk, hiding behind the leaves:














The Lily pads, changing into autumn colors on the pond:

It is hard to believe that all of this greenery
and wildlife
have all changed, now that winter is happening.

Nature is such a miracle on how it works, isn't it???

The seasons keep changing on me faster and faster as I get older. I don't like cold but I love the look of fresh snow. Your photos are wonderful. I really like the lily pond changing color,

nature is indeed a miracle. it dies and is reborn over and over and over. and each season is as beautiful as the one before and after it.

Beautiful pictures. I'm glad you shared them. I miss the days when everything looked like that outside. The white on the ground can be nice, but the green colors of nature are even nicer.

Cheery pictures on a cold day. I like them all, and particularly the dragonfly.
