I visited a local park on Wednesday to see the entries in the annual Halloween Scarecrow contest. On the way there, I saw some trees that were turning, but the best is yet to come.
As we walked along this pond, I viewed what I think is the Hickory Tussock Moth caterpillar (Lophocampa caryae). They are common in the fall where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.
Speaking of the scarecrows, I'll be featuring some of them from time to time on my blog. I normally post on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Joining Yogi and other skywatchers on Fridays for #SkywatchFriday.
Enjoy your blue skies while you can.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a perfect fall day
ReplyDeleteI love your deep blue skies with the clouds and the color you found on the trees already. We are getting "precolor" in our trees. You are a few weeks ahead of us I think.
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow trees in your photos and can't wait for "full color" to come.
ReplyDeleteMy maple tree is just starting to change color. I should take a picture, lol.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty skies and the promise of fall colors in your near future!
ReplyDeleteLove the skies. That caterpillar is cute.
ReplyDeleteSeeing trees and the fall colors! I miss them since we live in a very desert climate.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's right, it's scarecrow season. I can't wait to see this year's entries.
ReplyDeleteThe blue, blue skies are so lovely at this time of year and such a welcome sight. It is a beautiful season.
ReplyDeleteOur skies have been a particular shade of blue that I always think of as "autumn blue" and decorated by white puffy clouds this week. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love fall foliage. Although, since I'm from New England, I'm a bit of a leaf-peeper snob. I deride the color of the Hampton Roads area as going from "green" to "brown" to "dead." It's really not that bad, though. It's just better a few hundred miles up the road.
