The Friday Digital Archive Dive is uncertain about frost flowers this year (drought, unseasonably warm) so is picking some from the many in the archive (see 1st ALT image for how they are formed).

A day when the early morning light and early evening light had the same yellow-red cast.

Snowy day yesterday looked pretty but didn't amount to much in accumulation (maybe an inch). It's going to be well above freezing today so it will all be gone soon. Flit enjoyed it.

My mother met my father when he was in training in Indianapolis during World War II. Thus, my remembrance for the U.S. #VeteransDay always starts on a personal note with this photo of their wedding day.

Hiking in the Sawtooth Mountains which make it clear that it's no mystery how they got their name.

The Friday Digital Archive Dive finds the perfect picture of the paradoxical nature of #Fall, a beautiful yet melancholy transition from summer to winter.

This has been a weird fall. The red was plentiful & bright but the yellow have been muted & there hasn't been much orange. The big thing is there's still a huge amount of green. I found a same spot comparison taken 1 day difference in dates but 2013 (l) vs 2025 (r).

Sometimes the shot isn't nearly as much about the #waterfall as it is about everything around it.

Most of the maples are going yellow this year but some of them are enthusiastically bucking the trend.

Third and last photo post today in honor of #Halloween, my favorite childhood holiday (1950s-1960s).

Continuing my 'spooky' photo posts in honor of Halloween (my favorite holiday of my 1950-60s childhood holiday).

Just to make this more spooky, I kept finding it in different places in the woods over the next 4 years (after 2 years, the lower jaw disappeared).

The Friday Digital Archive Dive has a treat for @candissabean.bsky.social -- white oaks that have turned a deep burgundy color.

Posting photos today in honor of #Halloween, my favorite childhood holiday (1950s-1960s). People in my area went all out: elaborate costumes & decorations, loads of regular candy but also popcorn balls, hot cider, homemade candy. I'd come back home to dump my bag at least once.

When I saw the picture on the left, I couldn't figure what strange phenom caused the pink splotch on tree on the bottom left (you may need to click on photo to see it). So I checked it out ... and huh, it was the devil's walking stick.
