Now that it’s November these should be the last of the outdoor flowers. It’s much colder and the leaves are turning beautiful colors. Here’s a picture of some mums I saw on a walk a couple of weeks ago. I hope it won’t be too long before the flowers are back again!

It’s starting to look and feel like autumn. The mornings are cooler and the breeze is chillier. Yesterday I went on a walk and saw lots of pumpkins. Under the bright sunshine you could even see their shadows.
As I continued my walk I saw pine cones on the ground and in trees.
Then I noticed these cute carved pumpkins that weren’t scary at all.
My favorite was this owl.
Going on a pumpkin (and pine cone) walk was lots of fun!
Last month I took a picture of a hydrangea that had just bloomed. Here is that photo and another one I took of the same hydrangea over the weekend. There’s such a contrast! It’s been quite a year for flowers.

I visited Lake Michigan several times during the past year and It changed significantly from season to season. Here are some pictures showing the contrasts.
The winter featured snow and ice on the water.
The summer scenes are much more inviting if you want to swim! Here it’s early in the day and people haven’t arrived yet…
And here’s a picture from last November.
The lake is wonderful to visit any season of the year!
While I was on a walk I saw these dogwood trees – one blooming in white and the other in pink – under a bright blue sky.
And there are so many more flowers coming soon!

With just the right blend of April showers and and bright sunshine these azaleas are a cheerful sight in my front yard. I hope they last a long time!

It looks like April is for showers AND flowers. After some rain a few days ago there are new places to see flowers. Here is a forsythia that’s in bloom in my backyard. The yellow flowers seem even brighter compared to the trees that still don’t have any leaves. It’s wonderful to share a picture I’ve just taken!

It’s starting to get colder and the outdoor scenery is really changing. Taking a morning walk requires a little more preparation now – a light jacket, maybe a scarf, and a pair of gloves. Stepping outside and feeling the brisk air really wakes you up! Here are some views from sidewalks and paths that show that it is suddenly the middle of autumn. The seasons change so quickly.
It is still chilly and a hot chocolate would be a good way to warm up – maybe later…
The walk is almost complete when a bright pop of color appears, but these leaves are on the ground, not on trees. It’s part of the fun of walking because you get to see unexpected things like this.
