Fence Rows

We’ve had a couple of rainy days, but even though the skies were gray, it stopped raining and provided me with the opportunity for an afternoon walk.

I went through the bean field now that it’s empty.

I noticed there’s some trees that need cut out of the fence row.  The goats aren’t allowed in here, or they would keep the fence rows completely cleaned out.

If I don’t do it while they are small, they’ll end up like this.

I don’t need more giant trees with fences through their trunks.

Xanthophyll

You’ve got to love the xanthophyll and its contribution to our fall beauty.

Not a lot of xanthophyll in the next two, but I like the red-tailed hawk flying.

Maybe a little evening light to emphasize the xanthophyll.

Xanthophyll:  a yellow crystalline pigment, C₄₀H₅₆O₂, found in plants; lutein: it is related to carotene and is the basis of the yellow seen in autumn leaves.  (Webster’s New World College Dictionary)

Thank goodness its timing is perfect for joining Alphabe-Thursday for the letter X.  I’m also sharing with Rurality Blog Hop.

Downey Woodpecker

It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of the little downey woodpeckers.

It’s always fun to see them.  I need to get my winter bird feeders out.
