Our World Tuesday: Winter approaches

We had a hard rain a few days ago and that night the temperature dropped below freezing. I think the way the rain on top of the leaves froze ended up looking like plastic wrap.

It's a good thing I like leaves because my three large oak trees are dropping blankets of leaves.

One day a female cardinal turned her beak up at me while I was photographing from a distance.

The next day a male cardinal seemed to have a similar reaction to being photographed.

The neighborhood cats seems to all gravitate to my overgrown garden.

The transition from fall to winter is starting to be very obvious.

The bare trees are beginning to out number the ones that still haven't released their leaves.

One good thing about winter is there is more light at the end of the tunnel when there isn't dense shade from the leaves on the tree.
