Nature Notes and Our World: First week of September




Summer is winding down and the cardinals are growing up.

There are still signs of immaturity but soon the cardinals will be adults.

Sunday the temperatures were much cooler but the humidity was intense.

The upcoming week is supposed to be cooler than last week which was very hot.

The possibility of storms exists for the first half of the week so glad I got out and walked Sunday morning.

    Nice set of photos! Weather is changing, and the autumn is drawing near. In some way it's nice - I love the chill fealing of fall!

    Liked the ones showing the cardinals with just a hint of red. A sign of what's to come.

    Oh the cardinals are beautiful birds. I don't think they are found in this part of the country though.

    Already the time of year when you have to take advantage of every good weather day!

    We are having lovely Indian Summer weather -- and for us the warmest we've been all summer (we are back -- now in Washington State .. I'm a bit behind on blogging (just a bit ;>)

    I have loved following your cardinal family as they grow. I hope the winter is kind to them.

    The Cardinals are so cute, and it's fun to see the little ones growing up and changing their plumage to more like the adults. You must so enjoy watching them.

    I love your view of the water. There's the hint of the possible storm, but there's also tranquility. I do hope for a cool week.
