Awesome collection of nature photos. Great captures of all the birds, deer, fox and the bear. Love the mushrooms, fungi and the plants. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
They are all amazing and a wonderful set of photos of nature that you've been able to see and photograph. I am still amazed at what I see every time I hike. I love the little fawn and my husband would like the ring necked snake! Such a good collection!
Wonderful photos of so many different subjects! Thanks for sharing these joyous moments with all of us. Take care.

To
all of uswho go by the
meteorological
seasons, fall begins on the first of September and ends November 30. Certainly there were days with summer-like temperatures, some summer-blooming
wildflowers had blossoms in early fall but black bears were fattening up and some trees, especially
red maples, began to change color – the distant hills often have a
reddish cast by September 1. As
we entered fall, the daily photographs in this continuing series were taken within 200 feet of our back door – insects, flowers,
birds, mammals, fungi, trees and other plants. The area within that 200 feet
consists of woodland, lawn, flower garden, ornamental trees and
shrubs and a tiny, tiny pond.H
and I have been extremely fortunate to have lived here on the side of
the hill for over 50 years in a house that was built for us by
a skilled and conscientious crew. The house was built in
woodland that was once a pasture and had then reverted to forest,
forest that consists primarily of black birch, red maple and
tulip-poplar with a scattering of oaks, hickories, black locust and
other species.The
woodland has been heavily impacted by white-tailed deer, many
species
of shrubs and herbaceous plants have been browsed into oblivion. In
order to protect some of those shrubs and wildflowers from the deer,
a deer-resistant fence encloses a small area where white trillium,
mayapple and other plants still grow.The videos and photo
from the camera traps within 200 feet of our back door are noted at
the end of this post.[Image] [Image] [Image] [Image]

[Image] [Image] Now it's winter, no more flowers to be photographed; our dying white birch was removed, its wood added to next year's woodpile; many of the birds of spring and summer are gone, perhaps to be replaced by winter finches; the hardwood leaves have fallen, their nutrients will be recycled with help from all the unseen living things on the forest floor; the deer, squirrels and chipmunks may have a lean winter since there weren't many acorns or hickory nuts here; we may, or may not, have much snow and cold as the climate changes – time moves on as do the seasons.This
post completes not only the fourth of the year’s seasons, but the
fifth photo-a-day-for-a-year series that’s been posted on In
Forest and Field.
Just as a similar project by a renowned nature photographer inspired
the first of my series, perhaps these photographs will inspire you to take a closer look at the world around your home and maybe do something similar with whatever subject interests you.Hopefully
you’ve enjoyed viewing the photos as much as I’ve enjoyed taking them.
Will I do another such series? We’ll see. From the camera traps: 9/20, 10/12, 11/12, 11/16 & 11/28
