Fall Meets Winter #ThursdayTreeLove

In this photo taken 11-14-18, fall meets winter in downtown Binghamton, New York.
Broome County Courthouse, Binghamton, New York
The day before the first snowstorm of the season hit, snow flurries whitened some of the ground, but fall foliage was still visible.

Now, the leaves are gone and the ground is covered in the white stuff.

Nothing is forever, our four season climate teaches us.  Today is going to be the coldest Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November, in the United States) in 100 years.

As part of our Thanksgiving, it is traditional to eat a bird called the turkey.  These turkeys are common wild birds where we live, although they aren't quite as good eating as domestic ones.
Not in winter - Wild Turkey
But it can be a thrill to see one.  This picture was taken by my guest photographer several years ago in the Northeastern United States.  Majestic, aren't they?

To all my readers in the United States, may you have a happy Thanksgiving.

  8. This time we are enjoying cold weather(lower 70s) in Phoenix as opposed to the last year (upper 80s) I know it isn’t anywhere near to New York cold, but in the mornings it is in the upper 40s. Such nice weather. 😀 Loved those clicks, Alana.

  11. Happy Thanksgiving. I moved to a country where the change in seasons are prominent and witnessed my first fall, it was so beautiful! Who knew there would be elegance even during a fall!

    I loved the tree and how the tree changed with season. The picture of the turkey on the bench was fun too!
