Picture This #370 ~ Autumn Fun

First of all congratulations Heidi to the wonderful banner photo and thanks for hosting this week.


Mushrooms spring up everywhere where I live especially along the river bank.

The apples are now ripening on the trees. This is an apple tree on one of the meadows nearby.

Another "Mitch" photo of my Echinacea, now only showing the head in the middle as the flower is now finished.

The local gardening department of the supermarket are showing some Autumn gourds.

And I at last invested in a 300 lens for some long distance shots. I was fed up with birds that flew away when I wanted to take a photo. Here is my local Mr. Blackbird foraging around on the lawn searching for food. He will soon have a front seat on my bird house.

  2. Hi Pat !! Great photos for this week's theme. Lovely collection of mushrooms in the first shot, one of my favourite things to see in this season. Good crop of apples ready to be picked. Another great capture of the Echinacea. The good thing is the central part always lasts longer, so more chance to macro before it withers away!! Love the collection of gourds, all the different colours and textures. My favourite shot is of the blackbird. Great detail with your new lens, loving that inquisitive look he has.

    Blackbirds are notoriously difficult to photograph. Terrific capture of this one.
