Our past has passed
I can’t believe October is over and we are heading into winter. Well, really, my body knows it. Every joint hurts and I’m cold all the time. I won’t be cold forever. The chill feels much chillier now than it will in January. By then, a 68 Fahrenheit (20 centigrade) temperature will feel like springtime by mid-winter.
It only rained in the morning today, though I think we are back to rain tomorrow. We got a few hours of sunshine and the birds, at least, were very happy. We gave them a good feeding and at one point, had eight doves pecking at the white millet which none of the other birds will eat.
I’m really not ready for winter or for the holiday or for anything. I’m still waiting for the rain to stop falling so we can go and take those last autumn photographs. No matter how unready I am, it’s coming like an out of control freight train.

Actually, all of these were taken either with a long telephoto (the birds) or a 30 mm Sigma lens (not a zoom — fixed). Trust me. More pictures go into the trash than get published!

It does look like a red wig! The dove is such a pretty photo. November?! How in the heck did that happen?

I think the Red-bellied Woodpecker was from March. I had a lot of birds that month. I have everything I ever published, but I CAN’T FIND THEM. At least I know why I can’t. There are too many! And they are a mess. I very much enjoyed this month. It also gave me a way to publish all those autumnal photos. I needed that!

Wow, that bird really does look like he’s got actual red hair rather than feathers!

I know. I haven’t seen any other bird with long head feathers like that. He was a very special woodpecker 😀

It all goes by so terribly FAST. We’re zipping into winter faster than a speeding bullet. I want to put on the brakes and say WHOA. Slow down!
