Late October flora & fauna

By JIM NIGRO

Whether they be red, orange, yellow or a combination thereof, maples are among my autumn favorites.

Here's a colorful and placid stretch of Celery Brook.

This doe as she was about to cross Old Creek Road when she stopped long enough to get her picture taken.

Aahhh, "Celery Brook" & "Cattail Swamp." LOVE the names AND the pics. Yes, this a gorgeous time of year & again, you capture it very well, Jim. Thank you.

Have a great weekend. Hope you have an umbrella!

Thanks, Mardell - with yesterday's incredibly balmy weather, a friend and I had a great canoe trip on Black Creek from Churchville Park into the Bergen Swamp......am anxious to share the photos. Hopefully I'll have them posted early next week.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Great pictures Jim. Its a shame all the trees are almost shed for the winter but you seem to have found a few that haven't. Enjoy the season and happy hunting. I have some great Colorado photos if your interested. Email me. Take care.

As I said on one of Howard's pictorials, Western N.Y. is very picturesque this time of year.

I have some pics of deer in our back yard if you'd like to see them.

Raymond, if I remember correctly, you had does and bucks coming into your yard frequently. Yes, I would like to see the photos but as for posting them you would need to speak with Howard.

Jim, yes I do have doe and buck coming through the back. We also have red fox every now and then, although I haven't seen them since spring, and for the first time since we moved here 5 years ago, a coyote came wandering through the back late one night.

Posted a link to my photobucket album on your guestbook Jim.
