2023 Day 332
Tuesday, November 28th I was out enjoying the sunset on the back porch where it was still but cool when I realized that I never posted this post this morning... So as I enjoy the relatively cool 57° with the sun just touching the top of the trees still... I…
2023 Day 329
Saturday, November 25th On Thanksgiving Day I saw an image of my red oak tree from 4 years ago. In that image, the tree had already gone through its entire fall color change. So I guess this year fall is a little slow in coming... But, as you can see,…

Sunday We had our first overnight low in the 30's last night. Granted, it was only 39 degrees... But you can feel it on the backporch this morning. At least the winds have died down today... It was cool enough that we even had a fire in the fireplace last…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/sXqvcVjDnu8 It was another beautiful fall morning. Clear skies, a bit of haze hugging the ground, seasonably cool temperatures... The absolute best that fall has to offer this deep in the South... Last night before bed I played yesterday's video on YouTube on the TV. My wife made the…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/GBHFlEXVJMs After I woke grandkid number one this morning, I stepped out on the back porch into what felt like a return to summer... The temperature was above 75°, and the humidity was pushing 100%. Off in the distance lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled softly. For the first bus…

Thursday https://youtu.be/BRW_W3SA7H8 After a breezy Wednesday, Thursday was cool, still, and clear. The temperature this morning when I walked out on the back porch was 58°. The humidity wasn't even felt. Photographs was heavy with dew. It definitely feels like fall today. The sun is out, shining brightly. My long-distance…

It looks like another cool, cloudless morning. The eastern glow has gone from pink to yellowish. The most prominent sound is of tires on concrete coming from the bypass. Though, the mockingbird is doing it's best to try and outdo the traffic. A flight of great egrets flew over just…

6:45 am The first real autumn morning. No ceiling fans required. The prognosticators promised a low in the 50's and they were blessed in their foretelling. The flock of whistling ducks grows larger by the day as it circles my house as the sky brightens. This morning it's the cardinals…
Driving These Mountain Roads
We started our day taking the long way into Boone. We drove over Rich Mountain Road. This shot is from the highest point on the road as it passes between Rich Mountain Bald and Snake Mountain. From here it was all downhill. After spending some time on King Street in…
The Weather Catches Up With The Look
Fall Is In The Air This morning lightened on a world where the temperature had fallen below 70° for the first time in months and months. It wont last, this preview of fall...But, oh how nice it is. Unfortunately, the rains from last week have finally hatched up a swarm of mosquitoes. Therefore,…
A Walk In Autumn…
Walking my trail through the woods yesterday I was struck that the predominate color is still green... Once I made it to Mustang Bayou, the color pallet didn't seem to change... The temperatures this week have been great. My wife actually demanded the heat be turned on after our first…
My Favorite Time Of Year…Autumn On The Texas Gulf Coast.
We are now entering my favorite time of the year. Cool fall days in the low 70's and nighttime lows dipping down into the 50's. Skies so blue that if you could capture the color you'd be set for life. Birds twittering in the predawn trees, welcoming the day as…
