 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog and it is also Halloween!  I hope you enjoy my little creation for the day.  Have a fun and safe one and don't eat too much candy!

 I was out driving this week and saw that even with the many trees that have already dropped their leaves there was still some good color left.  I was very surprised.  I went out and took some photos on the way home from work one day and this is one of them.  Of course I had to do one railroad related.  😀

 TGIF!  Happy Friday!  The Aster's are about done for the year as well and they were really a butterfly magnet for me.  I was able to capture this Painted Beauty that was enjoying them along with a bonus Skipper.  There was some lovely bokeh behind created by some drying out flowers and so this was a good photo for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 I was going back through my images from this year for a project I am working on and I found this image that I had never shared before.  I was able to get some really close Ladybug images that turned out well and this is one of them.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's flower is already mostly done.  This is Canada Goldenrod.  Goldenrod is usually a butterfly magnet.  I did have some butterflies enjoying it but not the number like in years past.  It makes for a lovely photo subject I think.

 While out on a bike ride at Milford Lake recently I saw this bird flying overhead and stopped to take some photos.  I was surprised to see that it was a Bald Eagle.  We usually have them over wintering here but not this early.  It was only mid October.  I was pleased to be able to get a couple of fairly good shots of it.

 Happy Monday!  I thought I had shared this flower before but maybe not.  It is an interesting variety of Morning Glory.  The blooms are fairly large and they usually close up very early in the day so most times I would only see them in the very dim light as I left for work.  I got lucky on the weekends a couple of times to see them and I captured this image of it.  I love the little spikes.  They are fairly soft so you can grab it, they look rather deceiving though.  The flower color is lovely and much lighter than the usual Morning Glories I see.  It vines quite a lot and does not bloom till late in the summer.  Next year I need to come up with something better for it to vine on.  I used dead tree branches that worked but made it very unweildy.
