This afternoon I rode around the farm, enjoying the beauty of a warm fall day and looking for photo opportunities.
This is the end of October and there is only a slight tint of color to most of the trees. The leaves are just turning brown and falling without turning color. I did find one brilliant red tree.
The cows were laying in the sun by the edge of woods contentedly enjoying the warm late afternoon sun.
The Cowbirds were hanging out by the thousands around the cows that were grazing. They were furiously pecking and eating seeds, bugs and shifting through the manure for goodies. After a few minutes they would flutter to scavenge by another cow, rotating around the pasture. It was fascinating to watch. They didn’t seem to bother or annoy the cows.
A young calf just as curious as I was about what those crazy birds were doing!
If I got to close they would take wing, circle around and land a short distance away. I wonder how they miss colliding in mid-air!
Several weeks ago Gene planted some annual ryegrass in the pastures to give some additional grazing for the cattle.

October seems to be the “month of the spider”!

Beautiful sunset.
The beauty of God’s creation is all around us; every year, every season, every day. The canvas may be the same but the artist’s brush paints a stunning, magnificent, oh so uniquely different, picture.
“O Lord, our God, how excellent is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens”.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork”.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–His eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
