Its October

Well summer is over. I grew some awesome potatoes.

Yukon Golds
I made a Loofah! 

The trees changed color beautifully this year, unfortunatly i worked most of the time and when i did try to get pictures i discovered my camera lense was smuged and didnt have time to fix it. So here is a blurry picture of the leaves.
This past weekend (oct 15) I had some time between shifts and on my way home noticed a SUV parked in the grass on the south side of 96 so i had to investigate who would be out there.
I also wanted to find some tracks and scat and take pictures of whatever i would find in the area then i came upon this sign.
So that bumed me out, so i went and sat up on the railing overlooking the marsh area hope to see who was out there. Then i saw something move and figured it was one of the archers, but when i looked with my binoculars this is what i saw move.
I eventually talked to one of the archers, they said there were two bucks in the area a 10point and an 8 point. I dont know the difference. I also found out they were there to help control the deer population. 

Yesterday I noticed something big and white in the marsh behind my house. I thought it would be a swan but it turns out its 2 Pelicans. They are still sitting in the same spot right now. (Oct 18) I am assuming one is hurt or they just need a good rest.

I know the one sitting down isnt dead because I saw it move today.
