Frost in the mornings now. Every morning the outside world has a frosty coating. Tiny crystals shimmer when the sunlight catches them just so. There are whisperings (or mutterings, take your pick) of snow in the forecast. I find this so hard to believe.Wintry weather here so soon?
Wasn’t it just last weekend that I was standing in my art booth, sweltering in the humidity, wondering how many 90˚ days in a row we’d had in Wisconsin?

I think of this time of autumn — after most of the leaves have fallen, before the first snow falls — as a dull, colorless time of the year. This photograph proves me incorrect. Blue skies, a bit of yellow and green still on the bushes, and red fallen leaves mixed amongst the brown. Color all around. Just for the looking.

Another photo from early morning in Wisconsin. Frost and mist give an extra bit of mood to a field of prairie flower seed heads.

Frosty, misty, so early in the morning, the earth hasn’t had time to put on her proper colors. Still in that early morning froth of pink. Photographed at Owen Conservation Park on Election Day morning.
What will this day hold?
Not Your Typical Pumpkin Patch © 2010 Bo Mackison
Something simple for Halloween Day. A rather atypical pumpkin patch.
This may be the most innately creative pumpkin I’ve seen this Halloween season.
