Anna was guest blogger on Oct 18th-you can see her gorgeous fall tree from that post on her campus in the third photo.
She texted me tree photos on Monday and today. She’s guest blogger today with a tree update.
A tree study. Why is this season called FALL?



Guest blogger Eileen from Massachusetts went with her family to
Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at
“Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island. They do this every year for the month of October. It’s a walk through the woods surrounded by Jack o’ Lanterns. This year’s theme was television through the decades. Started with 1950’s. Ended with 2010’s. From Sgt Bilko to Game of Thrones. In between were some familiar ones to me; Addams Family, I Love Lucy, MASH, etc. Lizzie and Kevin needed us to identify them. 😀”
Great job capturing the thousands of Jack-O-Lanterns. Thanks Eileen. Looks like a wonderful evening and happy we could join you virtually.

You might remember my August 2022 post of Dead Trees Standing Although there were three photos in the post, one tree was in Columbus. I noticed that the two dead trees in the park across the street are no longer there. They must have taken them down while I was out of town as I surely would have heard the operation.



I was a passenger in the car.
Randi turned around for me so I could get the picture of the rocker, (for sale, not garbage)
There were three chairs in the lot where she turned around. What a bonus



Had a wonderful time in the desert terrain, the mountains, the cacti, the National Forest, the wedding and surrounding festivities. It was all beautiful. And of course I enjoyed knitting around the fire pit with good friends, too.
But these autumnal colors called to me before sunset. I’d just gotten off the plane. Here as I looked around the landscape I saw the familiar. I pulled off at the rest stop along the interstate as it was such a contrast from where I’d been just this morning. Tried to capture it.
