Our weather yesterday when I got home from work and finished chores was close to eighty degrees, balmy and still. They skies were a steely gray. It was like walking in a sauna, but I hadn’t walked in the pasture for a while, so I got my camera and took off for a quick walk.
I might not be going for many walks soon. Today we’re at about forty degrees and windy. It’s kind of a shock to the system after yesterday’s weather.

That is some difference, Teresa. 80 to 40? Those birds in the first photos are a little scary to me. xo

Just Canada geese. They flew directly over me, ironically on their way north. Guess the warm temps had them confused.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 18:11:20
Yes, ours changed abruptly, too! I liked taking the walk with you. You saw some lovely sights.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 18:42:15
It is beautiful back there. I don’t think I’d want to try that walk today though.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 18:18:14
great shots… my favs are the 1st & last. oh, yes the temps have been so wild. we had 80′s yesterday. 70′s today … & at night it dips into the 40s … suppose to snow next week. it is wild how it keeps changing so. wild weather for sure. (:
Oct 25, 2012 @ 18:42:56
We’re supposed to be down to freezing tonight. It looks like we’re going to stay forties to fifties for high temps for the next week.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 18:20:27
love the 3 geese. LOVE the spent thistle heads. love the flock in the pasture.
our temps dropped 20 degrees w/ a northern wind that blew in this aft.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 18:43:23
It certainly gets the attention when there are such drastic changes!
Oct 25, 2012 @ 18:31:56
Wonderful captures, Teresa! That is quite a change in temps!! Does make it harder to adjust!! I, too, love the geese and the flock in the pasture!! Happy SWF! Hope you have a great weekend!
Oct 25, 2012 @ 18:44:05
Thanks. It’s really hard on the animals with the wild temperature swings. At least I can put on and take off my winter coat.
Hope you have a great weekend too.

And with the wind, it felt like an even bigger difference.

The minute I see “EdenHills” I think it is “goat time.” Your blog always make be feel happy. Your processing on these shots is lovely. The last one is my favorite. Stay warm

Thanks. I love sharing my goats with people. I’ll throw an extra cat in bed with me, and that should keep me warm.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 19:07:40
A wonderful walk!! I love the second capture of the geese, just the old feel of the photo! And the slope of the hills and the trees in the landscape at the bottom!!
Oct 25, 2012 @ 19:21:38
Thanks. I love all the wildlife I get to see out there.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 20:48:49
Those are gorgeous captures! Love the last shot the most.

Thanks. They are spending as much time as possible out there.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 22:15:37
I always enjoy your photos, but I love this one of goats!
Oct 26, 2012 @ 07:02:13
Thanks so much.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 22:50:23
Really lovely shots! What a beautiful place to live!
Oct 26, 2012 @ 07:02:31
I am really lucky to live surrounded by such beauty.
Oct 25, 2012 @ 23:49:21
A very beautiful series of shots! I think the bird photos are my favorite.
Oct 26, 2012 @ 07:03:00
Thanks. It was nice to hear them and then have them fly directly over me (without bombing me).
Oct 26, 2012 @ 05:38:23
What can nature be so beautiful!
Amazing shot!
Oct 26, 2012 @ 07:03:51
Thanks. It is beautiful out here.

The weather this year has been so strange…as you well know! It’s hard to believe it will soon be cold. Not sure I’m ready for that. But…first we have to get through Hurricane Sandy. At this point it looks like we might be dead center, early next week. Luckily we’re off the coast, but we’re saturated with rain already, and those winds make me nervous!
Oct 26, 2012 @ 07:04:43
I was watching the news last night with their two scenarios. I could only think which bloggy friends would be hit. Hope you stay safe.
Oct 26, 2012 @ 07:07:03
Stellar photographs! (as always!)
Oct 26, 2012 @ 11:48:16
Thank you. You are too kind.
Oct 26, 2012 @ 07:12:00
Looks like you n your camera had a nice walk…Great pics…love the editis too! I think Autumn is fast changing into winter…brrrrrr
Oct 26, 2012 @ 11:48:36
I am all in favor of having a cold winter!
Oct 26, 2012 @ 08:16:08
Beautiful shots, Teresa! I love seeing those happy goats in their pasture.
Oct 26, 2012 @ 11:49:01
It won’t be long before they don’t want to go out there, and I’ll be feeding them hay.
Oct 26, 2012 @ 10:32:10
Really cool photos! We’re in the same boat as you. 80 degrees yesterday, 45 and windy and rainy this morning!
Oct 26, 2012 @ 11:50:01
Of course, I’m just thankful for the rain and looking forward to winter.
Oct 26, 2012 @ 16:02:45
beautiful photos!
Oct 27, 2012 @ 01:02:24
Thank you so much.
Oct 26, 2012 @ 17:13:41
Love the geese!
Oct 27, 2012 @ 01:02:50
Lucky timing. I had just started my walk when they flew over.
Oct 27, 2012 @ 05:52:15
Great pics of your walk in the pasture and the processing on the shots of the geese is really beautiful!!
Oct 27, 2012 @ 07:08:51
Thanks. I figured it might be one of my last beautiful days out there for a while.
Oct 27, 2012 @ 15:58:41
Beautiful images! Yes, winter seems to be on its way albeit in fits and starts.
Oct 27, 2012 @ 15:59:23
It’s certainly what we need. A nice cold winter spell.
Oct 27, 2012 @ 22:33:02
Most of our Canada Geese have flown south, but we still are getting formations of Snow Geese heading for the fields in Oregon and Washington. – Margy
Oct 27, 2012 @ 23:01:25
It’s still a bit early for them to be going south here, but I see them flying occasionally throughout the summer.
Oct 28, 2012 @ 00:54:25
Your shots are fabulous!
Oct 28, 2012 @ 07:39:28
Thanks. It was a beautiful afternoon.
Oct 28, 2012 @ 05:56:20
