I think this is going to be a strange post, not because of the photos, but because of Blogger/Google. I've had to enter the post through a microsoft browser, not Google Chrome as it will not accept the photos on the blog site using chrome. The photos are also not loading correctly, and I'm having to do them twice. So I'll move forward with captions and cope as best as possible.

Upper River in mist. |
At the right the River through a rock face looking north. You'll see the trees starting to change. The Vermilon Forest is a gold forest in the fall, unlike southern forests which have more maple and oak, and are red and gold. Our red comes from a few maples, the pin cherry trees, and the blueberry plants which cover the the clearings.

The whole forest is alive in cleared areas with wild sunflowers. They're smaller then the domestic ones, and grow taller.
This is a clump growing on the bank of a wetland.

I found a little trail which allowed me to look in on all these geese in a River wetland. They're all in moult. Imagine the warm down vests. If you look closely you can see the feathers in the water.

Love greetings, Karin
blogger has been quirky this week, glad you persisted to share your great collection of nature photos
ReplyDeleteVery nice, you do see beautiful sights on your hikes.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such stunning nature shots! I particularly like the 8th photo with the spiky-looking rays of the sun streaming through the leaves of the tree. Love the flying geese shots, too! We have lots of wild geese near our house.
ReplyDeleteJust watching nature makes me think life is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Fabulous pix Gary as always....I'm sorry Google is giving you troubles, but I sure wouldn't have known there were any problems if you hadn't said so. The sun filtered through the trees is wonderful (both versions). And I love the birds of course and am envious.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this series of photos, sure sign that fall is on the way. I'm looking forward to that season. Hope the Google problems sort themselves out. It can get pretty frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of your world and the creatures that occupy it leave me speechless. These birds are elegant and peaceful. Your post is beautiful. Sorry about that weird blogging challenge, though!
ReplyDeleteNice set of shots - do I detect a hint of Autumn? We just had our first spring-like weekend here so it would make sense.
