Day 304 - 31st October 2015 - Sun, Leaves and a Hairy Woodpecker

Here we are at the last day of another month and it's Halloween. Not sure how many little ones we will get trick or treating this evening, seems like every year we have less. Our population in the hood is growing older, like many places. Stars and moon are out this morning, chill in the air and cats fighting somewhere nearby.
A lot of leaves fell during the rain and wind on Thursday, but I was surprised to see so many Oak trees holding on. The "Mighty Oak" as they say. Blue Jays, Crows, Chickadees, Robins, White Breasted Nuthatch and Woodpeckers were all the hood had to offer me yesterday morning. Nothing terribly exciting. I puttered around, did more cooking - just another day. Soon have to cut back in the kitchen and get some other work done. But for now it's therapeutic - especially kneading bread dough. 
The sun wakes up through the trees.
I always like this spot on my morning walk.
The poor old bent tree is empty of leaves now. Just reflections of it's bare branches in the lake.
A few oak leaves.

Enjoy your day - don't forget the clocks "fall" back tonight.
