I went for a walk this morning in Clearbrook Park near my home. This time of year is just before when the leaves begin to change into their Autumn colors. This short bridge near the entrance goes over a stream which comes from the lake in the park. For exercise I often walk through the park for about forty minutes.
Here's a video about Poe's life and one of my favorite poems The Raven. What I find amazing is how The Raven sort of predicted the death of his wife and his own.
This one little pumpkin is my entire harvest! When I threw last year's pumpkin into the garden many seeds sprouted this past Spring. Lynette pulled out most of the plants to make room for Sunflowers. But the vine that remained only grew this one pumpkin. At least I have one. This will be our Halloween Pumpkin. It's too small to carve so I'll leave it as is.
This slug was on the walkway from my house to my driveway. It's more than just an ordinary slug. It's a Leopard Slug. Here you see it eating a dried out slug that died the day before. This is the slug that died before it was dried up and eaten. This other slug is crawling up the banister. In this closeup I noticed that the back of the slug has different markings than the front. I found an interesting video about the Leopard Slug's odd mating behavior. It surprised me on how strange it actually is; like a science fiction movie. Video:
You can see the white pollen in the photograph above. I had to wait for a breeze to stop before taking the photo. Here's the trellis it was planted for. The vine started growing along the ground. I like its feathery leaves. It's growing along the seam between the driveway and carport. I didn't want to pull it out.
