Living where you do, in the decent latitudes (north of 37 degrees), you get that cold, white powdery stuff for four to six months a year.
May it not fail you in 2019-20. I've lived through a summer after a too-mild winter (evacuation from the Waldo Canyon Fire) and I do not recommend it! We need that dihydrogen monoxide!

Sweet shot of the leaves in fall colors. That's something we don't get much of hear in San Diego which is a bummer, but on the plus side it doesn't snow hear.
A few from a trip to the zoo a few weeks ago.

I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
It appears that you have quite a special relationship with these fascinating creatures.

They are quite calm and friendly, if you leave them in peace. So, if they get too much attention they would rather throw up on you.
(I just stole the photo from somewhere)
The little guy in the second photo is heart-breaking. Ever seen someone so scared about us humans?
Great photos. Thanks.

Fall? In south central Texas? It is still summer here. Sept. was just late August. Still no first-of-fall front!
But drought is rearing its ugly head, so the Virginia Creeper went 'fall' in JULY!
Until November, the biggest sign of fall here is hummingbirds.
This one is out of focus, save the bill going in the Red Turks Cap. But I liked it.
We have had a couple hundred a couple weeks now. They blew out yesterday, maybe two dozen left this evening. The 'last call' at dusk a few days ago, there are a couple feeders like this on the front porch. And a couple being guarded by pricks.
Next two are immature Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
This is the adult male Rufous Hummingbird guarding the office feeder.

We had an immature or female Broad-tailed Hummingbird for four days this week.
This is the Ruby-throated I rescued from the grips of that Praying Mantis. Which appears the non-native introduced type BTW. The hummer flew off and seemed fine...
Remember: We are not alone!
Thanks all for all the great stuff all over the site... been too swamped to be around much lately.

It's been a long time since I've seen multiple hummers at my feeders at the same time.

Great critter pix SP! Love those primates.

That's because you're not American.
Otherwise you'd think of Miami ; ).
I have seen some of these guys in Ruanda's forests
They are quite calm and friendly, if you leave them in peace. So, if they get too much attention they would rather throw up on you.

Evening Bollox, and all.
No change in color here in Florida, but I'm looking forward to Spring at home. On my way in a few days!
Here's something Autumn-like ...
Thanks for posting the POT.
Cool shot, Janis.
It looks like an albino pumpkin.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
It's a miniature
white pumpkin-like squash (4" diameter) from Trader Joe's. It was so irresistibly cute!
Large head of garlic?
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
It does look like a large head of garlic.
I hadn't seen that before you mentioned it. It makes me wonder what white squash and garlic soup would taste like, even if it would look kinda bland.
white squash and garlic soup
..... sounds divine!
(serious garlic eater here!)

It's rare that I don't include half a head of the bulb.
Some chopped red chili and a green herb
would dress it up nicely.
red chili
Just don't use Carolina Reaper chilis to do it.....

Y'all should watch the video I posted in the OT too if you need a pick me up after the news this week.
It's gloomy and windy here this week. Last week was so perfect. Brrr.
Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.

Nice Hummingbird series, dystopian.
It's been a long time since I've seen multiple hummers at my feeders at the same time.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
I wouldn't mind being alone with
a couple hundred hummingbirds, or even a couple. Lucky you!
Cheers dystopian

What a charmer, Fred is
Does he hug you too, or just trunks?
He's very friendly
but a hug at full tilt would probably knock you down. He's a very big cat.
He's a rescue from Alabama. Not quite sure what they feed them down there.
Gëzuar!!

I better not get too close then,
I don't need knocking down.
According to google, Fred's diet consisted of these foods ...
