Sunday Stills- Signs of Fall

Summer seems to be lasting a long time here; we have only had one light frost so far, and the hot dry days are still with us. Some of the trees are starting to turn color, but it'll be a while before they put on their spectacular show. There are, however, a few signs of fall here.

The Canada Geese are heading south......

The apples on my tree are nearly ready to pick.......


The fields of grain in the early morning mist, ripening but not yet ready for harvest.......

There's a plethora of pumpkins and squashes of all kinds at the roadside stands.....

yup, a veritable plethora....

and some creative decorating at some of the stands.....

Too cute! such a happy face!

Oh, you gave me some ideas. I should have taken a picture of the aisle of Halloween candy in the supermarket. It amazes me how the stores stock that junk a month and a half in advance. Nice composition in your photos.

Yup, it still feel a little like summer here, too.
I did see many displays similar to the nice ones you posted at the garden centre today.
I do like that field shot best, I think.
