Jacket weather
Our weather had been warmer than usual until last week. Now we are wearing jackets. As you can see in the largest square, some fishers are also wearing hats and mittens. Brrr.
Moving clockwise: goldfinches are chowing down, this one is eating Echinacea seeds; cleaned-out sunflower seed heads (at sunset) show that blue jays and chickadees have been enjoying one of their favourite foods; leaves are falling from the trees; monarchs are migrating south but still finding clover nectar on their way; and canoes are still out but will soon be put away till next spring.
Another view of the sunflower at sunset

Beautiful images of Autumn!
Welcome, Autumn.
Oh yes the temps have dropped and fishing with mittens would be a challenge. Great photos. I LOVE this time of year. B
This is a superb post…you've really captured well the "end of October." Love the boat and ducks and the collage is perfect! But the final shot really does say it all…showing the warmth that is fading away!
that sunflower in the sunset just might be my most favorite of all your photos ever.. that is stunning.
It's a terrific autumn collage. The sunflower looks a bit depleted!
wonderful photo of the sunflower at sunset
Beautiful Autumn and I LOVE that last shot!
Before scrolling down I thought oh what a wonderful sunset and there it is! Waouh (sorry, French!)
That last photo is so moody, sunset and the "sunset" of the sun flower. Good job!

It is the best time of year, Isn't it?!
Cheers from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!
Brrrr. It's definitely colder here too. Love the sunflower photo and the mosaic. I've never seen finches eating my coneflower heads. I know they like them but I just never see it happen. ;)
The season change is definite and another farewell in grand form with your sunset view of the sunflower.
The sunflower at sunset is awesome
Sunflower at Sunset is so beautiful. An awesome shot.
Hi Michelle Lovely to see the last of birds and plants before it gets very cold. I think most people have had an extended autumn thus making the winter shorter, I hope!
Beautiful is the photo of sunflower!
Greetings, RW & SK
Love the collage and that sunflower pic is fantastic - plenty of goldfinch on our sunflower feeders - autumn has arrived here to - leaves are starting to turn - Jane uk
Great selection of photos! I love the one of the sunflower and sunset particularly.
yup, that sunset sunflower head was my favorite pic. :)
The sunflower at sunset is an amazing image.
Your sunflowers are looking like ours. Beautiful images of Fall. MB
I can't believe we're already at the end of October! Beautiful scenes. I really like the effect of the sun behind the sunflower.
Somehow that fallen leaf catches my eye most in that collage! Nice shots!
I love that sunflower shot. I recently read a quote that said "October is my favorite color". I've really enjoyed your images of October.
Beautiful autumn shots. I love the sunflower at sunset.
Love your last shot - very nice! Yes, its time to don those jackets - winter is coming, and with it SKI SEASON!! Yahoo!
enjoy the outdoors while you can; Autumn is my favourite time of year but here on the east coast, Australia, it lingers longer. I really love your sunset sunflower photograph
I wore gloves today!
I was originally from New Hampshire, so I do remember the cold weather. Now, I am a weather wimp living in Florida. However, Fall is beautiful in the North country.
I love the sunflower at sunset.
We've been warm, too, but that's all going to end in the next 24 hrs. Snow is in the forecast! It won't stay, but still, seems early.
EG, your sunflower/sunset image is excellent!
Wow! Absolutely adore the wilted sunflower with the sunset backdrop - stunning! Nice collage with lots of colors.
That last photo is stunning.
That last photo is stunning.
Lovely sunflower at sunset - quite a photo. It's a beautiful time of year.
I love that sunflower!!!
That sunflower at sunset is exceptionally beautiful! The link for I Heart Macro is still open if you'd like to add it to the collection:-)
Beautiful shots. That sunflower sums up the season beautifully - utterly spent.
I always enjoy your nature mosaics and photos. The Goldie at the seed is wonderful and the last sunset shot is gorgeous. Have a great week!
You make the best collages!
=)
Love the sunflower sunset and lovely male monarch... Lucky to see one.. I have not seen one... Michelle
