More Falling leaves.............

It's been very windy, but sunny. Actually very nice for Fall.Well I should say for October. Many years we have seen snow by now. Outside of town had frost last night but we did not. My home is in town and Traverse City is on the Bay. Grand Traverse Bay that is............so it helps our weather somewhat. It can be calm here but as soon as one tops the crest of the hill going out of town you may find yourself in a blizzard. There is a snow belt that crosses just above the town.
Yesterday I sat outside for a time and took in the sunshine while I could. Its supposed to rain tonight.
Here are some of the pictures I took that day.





The Pansies were wet from the rain the day before



I had to get some more pictures of the beautiful leaves around my garden.







I had really hoped to get out an about and get some pictures but so far it's not been possible. So these are all around my garden





Just as pretty but as individuals rather than landscape shots.............maybe this weekend if it's not raining. This one is the seeds off of the Japanese Maple next door.





Some flowers are still blooming.Pansies do well this time of year.


The Nightshade berries



Some leaves are brilliant and some are pastels, some are still green. All together they make such a pretty picture


All for now, I do hope I can get out and show some beautiful places before the snow flys
