This spider, species unknown, spun its web just off the surface of the siding on the back of the house. I’m happy to let it be.

Tracking the Turkey Vultures on as they wheeled and soared on this windy day was difficult. I was fortunate to capture this image.

A ribbed sky presages late afternoon showers.

The sun breaks over the horizon.

Heralding the arrival of a new day, the approach of autumn, and the approach of migration, a flock of Canada Geese flies across my field of view.

I came across this juvenile Mute Swan during a walk. It hissed so I maintained a respectful distance while wondering if it was in distress, being as it was about 100 meters from the pond where I previously saw it many times. It may have tired while trying out its wings.
I went past the spot a while later and it was gone so I assume it found its way to a more suitable habitat.

This aster?, species unknown, added cheerful colour to my walk through some tall brush.
