More Scenes and Wildlife of the Vermilon River. A Post To SWF.

 We've had our first frost,so Indian summer is fast upon us. The weather people have forecast at least another three weeks of warm weather. The scenes are from hikes along the River and the beaver pond.

 The mornings are still cool,so the mist continues. Here it makes the ridge appear like a double image.

Female Purple Finch.

These little guys fled into the wetland at my approach. I thought they were sparrows, but they're female Yellow Rumped Warblers.

 I've now taken to photographing insects in flight. I think this is a moth.

Fleabane?

 These yellow flowers are almost past their prime, but every year I see them in the woods without knowing what they are.

 As I said earlier, we don't have a lot of maple, but they sure are bright. The ones below are a different red, all the result I think of the chemical reaction in the leaf,

Red Squirrel.

This Red Squirrel along with a chipmunk, and another squirrel live in the forest directly behind us. They frequently visit much to the enjoyment of the in door cats who live on both sides of us.
