Whilst it has been raining for days and waiting for this storm Sandy to hit and still have hydro I have been playing around in Light room . I use Light room to store , and categorize all my photos as well.
I love all the different ways I can make my photos look !

It has been fantastic weather with sun , warm air , temps of 22ºC or 71ºF with fresh cool breezes . I have never known this late in Oct to ever be this lovely . We still have some summer birds hanging around and some winter birds have returned !
Not only does the Robin feed on worms but when they aren't available they feed on our blossom trees berries ! He should be on his long trip by now !
Our winter Junco’s have returned !
As has our Downy Woodpecker who loves to play hide and seek with me in the tree !
Our Nuthatch stays with us all year round !
Most of the trees have changed and lost all their leaves now !
Our Miggy enjoying a nap on Ken’s work shop porch in the warm sunny weather we have been having !
Most of the trees in valley are bare now !
Just a few remain with colour !
A cascade of colour amongst the bare trees !
Turkey Vultures up top of the trees at the very top of the valley !

As the orange sun set shines on the trees of the valley and dark clouds in the background roll by the sight of it looks like a painting !
I was on the front porch when taking these photos and this is also the scenery I see every day from my kitchen window as the day comes to an end with beauty and starts with beauty !

I love the look of the Cedar leaves this time of year !
Cedar leaves all over our wood pile !
Party at the feeders , coming in for a landing !
Taking a break !
Takes skill to balance and crack open a seed on a tiny branch in a breeze !
We have a few of these little Nuthatches . I am able to get really close to them , they don't seem to mind me at all now !
Fall , so full of colour , freshness in the air and busyness from nature preparing it’s self for the winter months .

I am the type of person who likes to photograph just about anything. I will go out early in the mornings in my PJ’s to get photos before what ever it is I see is gone like this morning .
The sun was rising and I noticed it was starting to melt some of the frost already so I had to get my frost photos quick .
I love the way the sun makes the frost twinkle as it reflects off of it !
And how the frost forms on everything !
So much out there to capture , there’s never a dull moment with camera in hand !

I love going out in the yard and just searching for things to photograph , more like I don't feel as happy if I don't take a photo or two every day ! The passion and love of photography and nature !
The air is so clear and fresh this time of year !
My best photo subject , Our Miggy who loves the camera !
Trying to hide from me little bird ?
Show off !!!!!!!
The thing I love is I don't have to travel to take nature photos , with the country valley we live in , forest and river around us gives us lots of different nature right in our own back yard and as I walk this lovely country valley , forest and river I have even more to photograph with in a few minuets of a wonderful walk from home !

A little history in our village !
The Edison Museum !
Vienna
a small Ontario village with a long history
was the birth place of one of the Grandfathers of Thomas Alva Edison - inventor of the electric light-bulb.
Did I say how much I like the little barns in this village ?
Just behind this property is a part of our lovely valley with the river known as the Otter river behind it the same river that runs through the park I showed in my last post of our walk . I can see this valley from my kitchen window every day as well but walking it is soo much better !
This bridge has been here since the early 1800s runs over the Otter river , it is just a hop,skip and a jump from our house and the road is long and comes to an end . All forest is around and it’s wonderful to hike in , see and hear all the nature !
Above photo taken from the bridge !
The long dead end road on the other side of the bridge !
So many lovely smelling crunchy leaves every where now !
Home again , Home again jigaty , jig ! Had that said to me as kid every time we retuned home from somewhere !
Miggy and I always enjoy our walk through and around our village but she does like coming home to her yard and toys !
Our hummers have gone now and the only thing that's supping up the nectar in the feeders are the wasps .
Another of my fall flowered bushes have just bloomed !
Well that's , that . Hope you enjoyed the last part of our walk and the tid bit of history we have . Believe me there’s a lot more history to this little village, so much more we have our own Historical book that goes back as far as 1855 .
This weekend is our Thanksgiving weekend !
Until next time , Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all Canadians out in blog land and a wonderful weekend to you all !
