autumn

dogwood fruit, wild apples, yarn, pumpkin

Today I went for a drive to my favorite stretch of local road

and took a few photos of the changing landscape.

The wind crackled through the drying corn 

and set the goldenrod tops dancing.

What appeared to be a golden eagle hunted over the field.

I admit it's early to see these majestic birds migrating,

but the size, level wing span, golden head 

and lack of white had me convinced.

The photos aren't the best, the bird was quite high up.

(I cropped them down to the last point of focus.)

You can see the bird as a dark spot in the upper right corner of the first photo.

Back home to an afternoon with a new knitting project  

and a bowl of vegetable soup for dinner.

Happy Equinox!
