Five for Late October

October is almost over already! I've got 5 seasonal pictures for Willy Nilly Friday and some other blog hops. 

1. I found these decorations at a local landscaping company. Halloween is the topic for this week's My Town Shootout. Also, the pumpkins qualify this image for Orange You Glad It's Friday.

2. Foliage is changing colors later than usual this year. Although the mountains are ablaze with color, lower elevations are still predominately green. I'd say autumn is a week late this year. I am trying not to worry too much about how climate change will affect us. I have emergency supplies, of course, for a short but violent storm. But if crops eventually fail and water supplies are depleted, there may be no way we can prepare enough.

3. I saw this figure at an art show. She represents one of the suffragettes who fought for the right of women to vote. There is still plenty of opposition to women having power out there.

4. Below is one of our dogwood trees, which just changed color a few days ago. It looks glorious!

5. Autumn is the time that trees bear nuts. Here some have landed on a parking lot. When I drove over them, they cracked with a loud noise.

Have a good weekend!
