Dry September Scenes

Our community lake is lower than normal. The geese and ducks are managing though. 

Sharing with Saturday Critters and I'd Rather Be Birdin'.

Our garden flowers have stopped blooming. Birds have been fairly scarce in our yard. Once in a while a hummingbird comes to his feeder, but I rarely get a decent picture because they move quickly. I was happy that this one stayed around this morning long enough for me to focus and snap a few photos.

There's a train that goes by now and then, usually at night. I can hear it coming because the engineer blows the whistle at road crossings. (I love that sound!) Occasionally it passes during the daytime and I can see that it is only pulling a couple of freight cars. It goes to a factory in Strasburg and then comes back through.

There are actually a few ducks in the train photo. Can you see one swimming near the flag pole?

Look who visited the bird bath! He seemed thirsty.

The last photo shows a buckeye, a butterfly that has a pattern that looks like big eyes on its wings.
