The first taste of fall

Temps were in the 40's last week, that was enough to kick the trees into gear.  The dogwood and sourwood are beautiful red, just yesterday the tops of the birch and oak started to yellow.  The sourwood right off the deck is the same burst of red you see at the top of the driveway.

I have been searching for a place to get a long range shot of the cabin in it's woodsy surrounding, found this spot squatting in a neighbors driveway, I think it will be a great place to take pics of Christmas lights.

At the exit ramp closest to our house they planted a field of sunflowers, people were pulled over all down both sides of the ramp to take pictures they are so pretty.  I hope to go back tomorrow with a better camera, the old phone cam doesn't do them justice.

Who ya gonna call?

I know you call an exterminator if you have bugs, but who do you call if your house is infested with aliens?  I'm thinking Sigourney Weaver

The funny thing is we have lots of boards cut from this same tree so this little face is all over the house.
