Round 3

And . . .  I have to back up again.
  All the way back to October 8th.  (It's been a bit of a busy autumn.)
  Sun shining on the trees that morning:

And that evening, we were hit with a very strong few gusts of wind.  I don't think I've ever seen it so windy here in the fall before.  Probably half of the leaves on the trees was blasted onto the ground in a span of maybe sixty seconds.  That included all the leaves on the plum tree.  (The black specks you see against the sky are the leaves.)
  And then I just took a picture of the eastern sky because it looked kind of pretty.

Sunrise from three different angles on the morning of October 9th:

And it had just rained, and all the rain clouds were in the west, so the rising sun created a rainbow in the west - something we don't see very often around here.  Usually the rainbows are in the east.   (Plus a terrified-looking Holly in the foreground.  I do not know why she looked so freaked out...)

The trees all looked pretty with the sun shining on them:

I also though the sidewalk looked neat with the grass on one side, the rocks on the other side, and the leaves scattered across it:

And the sun shining through some water droplets on the gate:

And then while we were outside, ducks flew over.  Then more ducks.  Then even more ducks.  And then a gaggle of geese flew by.  And then another.   And some more.  There was a ton of groups of them coming from the west - I have no idea where they'd all been hanging out, but there were a lot of groups of ducks and geese flying over one group after another for quite some time - there were a lot of them!  I took a couple pictures of a couple of the gaggles of geese.

Sunset on October 11th, with the dust from the all-around harvesting going on hovering over the field:

Sunrise on October 15th:

And then we got a heavy frost on October 31st.  It looked pretty, as always:

Another note.  I don't have any more pictures, but three things to mention.  First, a robin stayed here until November 2nd, which is unusual.  Second, there are STILL geese hanging around, which is also not very normal.  I'm wondering if we're going to have a very mild winter.
  And third, we got an inch and a half of snow on the morning of November 5th . . . but it started melting as soon as it stopped, and it's almost all gone by now.  It was a lovely day today - it got up to 11°C that I saw - so no wonder it mostly disappeared.  But this is November, so I wouldn't be surprised if snow came and stayed at any time now!
