#WednesdayWalk by @tattoodjay is a challenge that asks us to go out on a short 5 minute walk from wherever we are and capture photos of the sights that we see.
Once again we have a rainy day here in Wisconsin, so I am going to back up one day and share a few photos that I took yesterday when I had the opportunity to get out of the house and the sun was shining!
We get lots of beautiful yellow leaves in the Autumn here in Wisconsin. But you do see the occasional spot of red.
I was lucky enough to see this Monarch butterfly while I was out on my walk. It seems late in the season for them to still be in Wisconsin!
The weather forecast indicates this may have been one of our last warm days of the season.
We went past the playground, which always looks like an appealing place for children.
And then home again.....
A sunny Tuesday walk this week... Hope your Wednesday is more sunny and dry than mine is!
Today is the last day to enter this week's Shadow Contest

Enjoyed your photos. Love the knarly bark on the first tree.
Hopefully it won't be the last warm day (one can hope right?).... but it was, I'm glad you got the chance to get out and enjoy it.

Looks like your deck is still looking pretty good :) I'm worried about that butterfly (great pic btw) and the chiles ha ha

The deck was looking pretty bleak but I pulled up all of the summer flowers that were well past their prime and stuck in a few chrysanthemums and asters, so that extended the color for a few more weeks. I think those chilis are either going to be covered or sacrificed to Jack Frost very soon.
Although I didn't get a photo, there were actually six or eight monarchs fluttering around those flowers. Maybe they were traveling together and just stopped in for a refill before they traveled on their way yesterday.

I was surprised to see the monarchs. I rather suspect they were just traveling through and stopped in to get a snack for the road. It is a colorful time of year, it's too bad it doesn't last all winter! After the hot summer that we had, and all the rainy days when we couldn't be out enjoying nature, I think we are really due a long Indian summer. Although I rather suspect we may not get it.

howdy again melinda010100! hey when is Indian summer typically? I should know these things. Yeah you guys kinda got ripped off in the nice weather department didn't you? at least the farmers will plenty of moisture for awhile.

The poor farmers. I suspect they may have to wait until the ground is frozen to be able to take any equipment into the fields. It is so muddy. And none of the crops have begun to dry down the way they should.
I don't think there is a set time for Indian . I think it usually happens after we've had a cold spell, then it warms back up. And that's what they call an Indian summer, although I'm not exactly positive, I guess.

howdy again melinda010100! hey do you know anything about formatting posts and such? I have such little knowledge or skill in such things. A guy commenting on the post I did today and showed me how it was coming through on Partico and the sentences were all cut off short and broken in two and said I had too many sentence breaks and I don't even know what that means or how to avoid it! lol.
It's the first I've heard of that, have you? anyway as a former farmer yeah that makes for a very tough year! I wonder what they're going to do. You guys have so much moisture you don't even need snow!

I don't know what he is taking about. Sorry. Your posts appear just fine to me viewing them in eSteem.
Maybe it is a Partico problem! All I know about formatting is how to make the text bigger or smaller, create breaks between paragraphs, and do italics! I wish I could help, but my skills in such things are limited!

howdy again melinda010100! well thank you for that information, I'm glad they are ok on esteem. I think it may be a Partico problem, I hope so because I don' t know how to fix a problem that I can't see. It all looks okay from my end.
Did you think the length of the one today is about right?

I am in south central WI right now, just 30 miles from the Illinois state line. I lived for some time up in Central Wisconsin near Wisconsin Dells and it is beautiful up that way also.

It's great where you live! If I see it well, the forest starts right out of your garden. The river, also...

It is not a dense Forest, like many of yours are. There are a lot of wooded stretches that because they are along the river are flood plain and are inappropriate for building houses, but a lot of the woods have been carved up into home sites. Like mine. There are segments of woods that separate me from the next house, and give me plenty of privacy, especially during the summer when there are leaves on the trees. I'm always rather surprised this time of year when the leaves start falling off and how close my neighbors houses actually are! I don't see them at all in the summer and then in the winter surprise! There they are again.

The segments of the forest are even more beautiful. It is very interesting when trees lose their leaves and see neighbors. It happens to me the same way even if there are no forests near my house.

you are right: we had a very dry day wednesday :))) a rainy period had not yet started in Israel, we had the last rain in spring. The only thing I miss here a little is that this is such a colorful beautiful autumn as you have in the photo. you had a wonderful autumn walk! I really like your garden at the house! very nice and cozy

Thanks, Tali. I have to keep the plants that the deer like to eat up on the deck. Otherwise they vanish overnight. Hope that you get some of your much-needed rain soon

They are often in my yard. One time I counted 16. They eat all my foundation plantings around my house. It's a challenge to find plants that they don't like the taste of. They hate daffodils so I have plenty of those planted in the yard. I took this picture through my bedroom window.
