Fall happens here

From the friendly confines of the backyard, courtesy of the Japanese Maple –

 

Fallish Falllike

 

Of course some poor schlep is gonna have to rake all that. And that schlep is me. I already did it once this year. It’ll likely need a couple more passes.

It’s worth it for the color. Or so I’m told.

Fun guy

More proof that Fall is well and truly here. Spotted this on the ride home today –

 

Fun guy

 

It’s a big shroom, like dinner plate sized big.
Might there be a bit of magic in that one? Gonna be a heck of a party if there is….

Ominous

The commute home started out nice, if a bit blustery. Then this –

 

Nasty

 

 

It suddenly dropped ten degrees, and 6 minutes later I was enjoying a thoroughly rainy ride home. No complaints.
Actually, the headwind kinda sucked. There was that.

Last of the year

Snuck out for a ride a couple weeks back. Only took one picture –

 

Other side of the tracks

 

 

And not a very good one at that. Whatever, it’s got a motorcycle and a train and some fall looking leaves. And that’s that. Time to put the motorcycle away for the winter, we’ll revisit in the spring.

The freeloader

Yes, it’s definitely fall –

 

Freeloader

 

 

He jumped up there on my way to work the other day, and stayed there for 20 some odd miles. Probably would still be there if a coworker hadn’t pulled him out.

Someone needs to clean and lube their drivetrain.

Just sayin.

No, no, no. Don’t get up.

This is Trailer (Well, that’s what I nicknamed him anyway. I don’t know his real name, and he doesn’t wear a collar. So I call him Trailer cause he’s always hanging around, sitting in the middle of the trail I use on my bike commute.) –

 

Trailer

 

That’s pretty much his spot right there. About halfway home for me. I suspect he’s about halfway home too. Just hanging out in the awesome Fall sunshine. He’s a cool cat.

Today, the little bastard bit me. I think he was angry I didn’t bring treats. I’ll see what I can dig up for tomorrow.

Synchronized

 

 

This group pretty much has it figured out.

Good work deer, you’re saving the company bundles on landscaping services.

Contrasts

Dunno why, just like the contrasts of colors here –

Spotted on a storefront flower box in Truckee.

That’s all.

Don’t worry

He’ll be right back, I promise –

 

Tugger

 

 

He just went in for a cup of coffee. Relax.

Cool spot. If you’re ever in the area, it’s worth a peek.
