A Fall Walk in the woods

About five days ago, I took a walk in the ten acre woods. Here's what I found. 

Fall has finally come to the ten acre woods. This is one of my favorite times of the year. The weather was a warm sunny day with a light wind coming from the west. You can smell the crispy leaves that have already fallen from the trees.

 

Yellows, greens, orange and red dominate near a fence rail I put up several years ago.

In a month, the only green left here will be the cedar tree on the right.

Dogwoods turn a beautiful crimson red in the fall and the berries are a bright red.

In the city graffiti is painted on building, trains etc, in the woods graffiti is carved on trees. I have a large beech tree near the corner of the property and someone has carved a few words on its trunk. I'm not sure of the words.  

 

I'm not sure of this plant but it has a cotton looking fiber coming from a pineapple?

Sometimes while walking in the woods you come across pass home sites. This was likely a part of a foundation of an old house. I wonder how old it is and who lived here? 

Well now it's time to head back to the house, remember: What's in your woods, go find out!

The Best Lake Decor Gift for 2012!

Here's the best lake decor gift of the year, a personalized vintage style map of their favorite lake, river, or bay. What a unique gift for the sportsman, lake lover, boat or lake house owner. Add those cherished photo's of that big trophy fish, fun family outing, lake house, favorite sail boat, lucky lure, or water skiing trip directly to their favorite vintage style lake map.

Folks are discovering that these personalized decor maps are wonderfully unique gifts that become family heirlooms. 

Oh yeah, I hide things in the lakes waters, which make the maps even more interesting. I  hide a tiny mermaid/fish in the waters of all my lake map paintings that folks love to search for. I call my maps treasured maps because most folks have that special body of water that they treasure. These maps make great gifts for the lake house owner, lake lover, or fisherman. I have over two hundred on my website that can be purchased right from the site, or I can do custom and personalizes lake, river or bay maps, too. 
 

As you can see, my maps make a great gift. To see more of my work click

The last of the hummers!

In Nashville, about a week ago the temp was 45 degrees at 6:30 in the morning. Luckily, we had left the humming bird feeder for any stragglers coming through. While looking out of the kitchen window, I was amazed to see a very slow flying humming bird. In fact he was flying so slow, he was struggling to stay airborne. I could tell he was relieved when he landed safely on the feeder rail.

I quickly grabbed the camera and took a few shots of this very cold hummer. This was the last humming bird of the season and was probably on his way to Mexico. Cancun I bet.

I guess you could say this was the last flash of summer until next year!
