The nor'easter was rough on the trees, but we are still seeing dramatic color starting to appear on the maples.

Even on a soggy, windy, chilly day, the cardinals are standing proud in our apple tree.

So cute! Our local red fox was playing with the windsock being blown around by the nor’easter. #RedFox #TrailCamera #ctwx #ctweather #TrumbullCT

A beautiful pumpkin-colored sunset over Trumbull, CT tonight. The impending nor'easter is showing off before it arrives.

It's hard enough being an adolescent cardinal without gusty winds messing up your feathers!

Gotta love the deep colors of Pugster Blue (butterfly bush) in early Autumn.

This is the Northern Broken-Dash, a kind of butterfly known as "skipper" that looks half moth and half grasshopper.

Mr. Cardinal loves his perch in the apple tree. It gives him the best view of the yard and the best place to preen.

Even Mr. Cardinal gets frizzy on drizzly, breezy days like today.

A monarch butterfly was *really* enjoying our butterfly bush flowers today, despite a persistent wind. Wondering if she was in the middle of her migration south?

As Autumn approaches and the leaves start to fall, it is fun to see some of our bird friends becoming visible in the tree branches again.

Who wants to break it to Mr. Cardinal that his hide-and-seek skills leave something to be desired? ;-)

No matter the color or species of the flower, the polliators are hard at work preparing for Autumn.

I work so hard to create a beautiful garden, and then nature shows me up with a gorgeous wild magenta portulaca bloom! :-D

A western honey bee (Apis mellifera) enjoying the nectar of the flower of butterfly milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa). She's very happy to find a plant flowering in the early Autumn.

The pollinators are in a frenzy as the ivy flowers near the end of their flowering cycle. Pollen is im the air and all over the ground.
