30 Pictures!

We were away from the farm most of last week so I got almost zero pictures around here.  But I think the pictures I took this past week made up for it.  I narrowed it down to 30 . . . which is still quite a lot, so here's another literal photo dump.
     From October 7th.  The mountain ash tree had a beautiful variety of colours again this year.  I love it when that happens.

From that same day: A swamp that actually looks nicer than it sounds, the quad trail leading through the trees, and some poplar trees.

And the Lord brought in warmer weather again, long enough for us to finish harvesting the wheat - so Dad was in the combine that day, getting the rest of the crop off.

Asparagus plots on the 8th:

Sunset on the 14th:

On the 15th the sun was shining through the mountain ash tree and making the leaves on the ground a really pretty colour.  I thought it looked nice with the patches of golden-red between the shadows of the branches.

Then we had an amazing sunrise on the 16th:

And another gorgeous view of God's handiwork on the morning of the 18th.

Also on the 18th, I was down on the ground trying to get a picture of the sun shining on some poppy petals, and the clover looked so pretty in the evening light that I had to take a picture of that, too.

Then the sunrise yesterday morning made a pretty picture out of the spruce trees and the fence.

It looks like snow at first glance, but I promise it's not.  The clouds looked super neat for the majority of the day yesterday.

My chicks . . . who aren't actually chicks anymore.  I think I was half right when I guessed their genders back in May when they first hatched.  Now I'm pretty sure both of them are roosters... although neither have crowed yet, they both act like roosters, have huge feet, and keep making rooster noises. 
     And what's kind of funny is that they're still sticking together.  Even though they're grown chickens now, they're still pretty much always following each other around.  Usually where you see one of them, you'll see the other only a couple feet away.
     But anyway, they sure are pretty!  I love the difference in colour in their feathers.

Sunset from last night:

And sunrise from this morning!

I hope you enjoyed these shots, and have a great weekend!
