Fall is here. The first of the frost warnings have been issued for parts around here. This was a good year for the garden. Everything grew abundantly and well. So it's best I get the last of the tomatoes and peppers in before Jack Frost gets there first.
It's also been cool to watch some of the little ones develop. I still think there are way too many deer around here but it's been fun watching them grow-up none the less.
I believe these are the same deer - photos from July and September...
As the leaves are turning in the fall so changes the coat on a deer.
Just brought the dog in and autumn is definitely in the air.
There's the growling of machinery in the darkness as the field corn and beans are being harvested.
I think fall is here.
While out for a walk with the blonde Lab today we stopped to sniff the asters. The blooming of the asters signals the start of the fall colors for the trees...
Still seeing does with their fawns. Some of the fawns are sporting their spots while those fawns born earlier in the year are larger and have grown out of their spotted coats.
As the rut begins and these does are bred they'll kick their fawns loose to fend for themselves.
Yearling bucks often move in small social groups. Like this pair of button bucks.
They're called button bucks (or nubbin bucks) because their antlers are buttons or nubs.
It's been pouring rain all morning here at The Platz - but not enough to dissuade me from venturing-forth in the garden. Picked another two and a half dozen sweet peppers.
It has been an absolutely phenomenal year for the pepper plants! I can recall that the first year I attempted to grow sweet peppers my entire harvest was something on the order of a half-dozen runt-like peppers - that arrive late in the year.
Thing have sure turned-around on the pepper production. Practice makes perfect!
Venison stuffed peppers tonight for dinner.
It certainly didn't take long about a week.
A picture of a buck still sporting his velvet antlers...
Now it's gone...
All the other antlered deer pictures are velvetless.
All of a sudden the cameras are recording bucks that I haven't seen before. As a matter of fact this camera alone recorded the images of three distinct antlered deer over the course of two days.
Including this very curious buck this morning...
