Hi Bob. Great pictures.

Summer was great and now I'm looking forward to Fall and using the fireplace.

Good morning, Bob... amazingly enough we see deer here in Charlotte, as well. And we've got a million people! Not everywhere, obviously, but more often than you'd think. Not seeing much color here yet and fortunately whatever leaves do fall are disposed off weekly by my community's lawn service.

Good to know that they have a plan and are staying positive about the cold weather headed your way, haha.

Good morning Bob,

I always loved raking leaves as a kid growing up in upstate NY. The smell, the cool air was always a signal to me Halloween was right around the corner.

Ahhh, one of the things we gave up when we moved here was raking! Most of the leaves that fall here are from the small Rocky Mountain Maples and they're not over the road or anything. The needles from the larches should be changing in a month or so - and those don't need raking either. Phew! I still have to shovel snow, but not rake. :-)

I do like fall for the colors and the crispness of the air, but I do t like raking the leaves.

That picture of the intricate design of that bee hive reminds me of how brilliant I think bees can be.  That doesn't mean I'd want it in or near my home however.

We live in a very suburban area and we have lots of deer - I just hope they are fatter than your doe.  Captain chased one through the neighborhood Sunday night.  he bolted and I let go of the leash because he is too strong - Fortunately he was wearing a lighted harness so I just followed the flashing lights to catch him.
