Mailbox garden
Grey clouds dominate East Gwillimbury's skies in November but this mailbox is sure to brighten a delivery person's day.
Only a few seeds left
Blue jays and chickadees have been feasting on sunflower seeds.
White-throated Sparrow
Ground-feeding White-throated Sparrows enjoy eating treats living on the forest floor, such as beetles, millipedes, spiders and snails. During the winter months, though, they will eat millet and black-oil sunflower seeds at feeders. November is an in-between time when they eat animal matter as well as seeds.
Golden tamaracks
Soon the tamaracks will drop their needles and the trees will look dead like other deciduous trees. Come spring and they'll grow new green needles.

The name "tamarack" gets used a lot here in the States for businesses, housing developments, etc. No doubt inspired by the tree.
It is that time of year when the outdoor colours turn blah. You still have manage to find some that are still hanging on.
Love the wonderful light in all the shots.
Early November.
Another new perspective.
New friends.
Like the cycle of the Tamarack...shed the old, generate new!!...:)JP

Wonderful...
the tamaracks sure are pretty! i love the ornamental grasses, too.
Great shots. I have only seen the tamarack when it's green, so that was great.
Love this tamarack image. November on fire.
Love the golden tamaracks! We have the same trees here in the Pacific NW but we call them larches.
The tamaracks look amazing!
The tamaracks are gorgeous! Beautiful images!
Very autumnal scenes!
These tamaracks are beautiful!! I wonder if we have them, but I did not know what their name is? Are they a kind of pine? You took an old dead sunflower and made it into art!
I love the look of spent sunflowers. Lovely pic.
It was only when moving up north last year that I learned that the meany "discoloured" trees which I thought would be evergreens were larch or tamarack. And that they weren't dying after all. There seemed to be a lot more last year than this season.
I do love the tamaracks! Such a gorgeous color! Cute mailbox! You do get such great captures -- every day and I do so enjoy your posts every day as well!! Have a great new week!!
It's good that there are still some trees around with colour on these grey days. We still have a lot of trees with leaves.
Early November looks so pretty!
Beautiful scenes. The Tamaracks are gorgeous.
It is November isn't it. Nice shots. MB
Beautiful fall colors..the plants around the mailbox are gorgeous!
Pretty fall pictures. The tamaracks are about the only colour in the woods now except for the odd oak.
Thank you for sharing the treaeures of a northern November

Soon these lovely autumn scenes will be gone. We had our first snowfall last night. Grrrr!
I like all the signs of the changing season. The mailbox got a smile out of me.

I was worried about the tamarack tree that I can see from my window, and then very relieved when it grew new needles in the spring!
