Fall Colours

 
The trees are getting brighter every day

 
Everywhere the sun brings out the colour

 
Some fields are ripe to harvest
 
 
others are still to wet
 

I love this picture

Morning Fog

 
10C  Fog early morning

 
Not many colours yet

 
a haze over all the land

 
slowly the colours come out

 
next post will be colourful

Bruce trail-South Chin Road to Whippoorwill Bay

 
The drive was beautiful already

 
so much colour


even poison ivy looks nice

 
views over Georgian Bay

Glistening water

 
wide views

 
and some close-ups


a beautiful hike

 
lunch with our feet in the ice cold water

 
someone had made a support

 
picture with the timer, so all of us could be in it

surprising last part of the trail
 
 
and a nice drive back

Corn 25% dry Matter

 
Corn stalks loaded up

 
Going to Bridge to find out how wet the corn is

 
The corn goes through the chopper

 
catching the pieces

 
Then measure with the moisture tester

 
try a couple of times and average the score

Ours looks pretty wet

 
This was our best score 75% moisture was average
