Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

I love going on walks and if I'm lucky taking a few photos while I'm lost in nature. ๐Ÿž๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒบ  Does anyone else enjoy that?

 

These are some of the views from a little walk today.

Spoiler
It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining but the breeze was cool. Everything smelt so fresh and we saw a few animals too. ๐Ÿ˜€

Feel free to share any photos you take out waking in the beautiful fresh air and sun shine ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™

 

I'd love to see what nature you see ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ˜€

We took a little road trip, and passed a lot of cotton fields.  It looked like there was a lot of litter on the side of the road, but it was actually cotton balls that had flown off their plants.

I've seen these plants up close, and picked some cotton off of their hulls.  They feel exactly like the cotton balls you buy at the store (because they are!) but these still have their tiny seeds inside.  The cotton balls are actually the fruit of the cotton plant, called the "cotton boll."

It was a little tricky to take a straight photo from the car. ๐Ÿ˜†

No filter, no edits, just a beautiful example of the seasons colors on our street with a giant red maple. ๐Ÿโค๏ธ

We've been so lucky with a few days of warmer weather after a few weeks of chilly temps. I think the cold is coming back in a few days so we're happy to enjoy the sun and warmth for a little while longer here. ๐ŸŒž

Further proof that the farther north you are, the better the fall leaf shades are! @CynthieLu

Stunning @CynthieLu

We were looking for the comet that begins with a T this evening, and became confused.

We saw what looked like a comet tail (itโ€™s called an anti-tail for some reason right now,) traveling horizontally while a faint โ€œstarโ€?was traveling vertically through it.

Saw some sky news tonight and there were actually two comets visible tonight and I think I captured them both!

Either that or itโ€™s a fancy cloud. See the fuzzy circular thing with a tiny tail? Comet number 2.

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

Ooh two at once? That's gotta be a rare sighting. @Ispend2much6 ๐ŸŒ ๐ŸŒŒ 

 

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

@CynthieLu  I think the horizontal cloud was a plane contrail after all. lol  But I did "catch" the comet!

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

This latest CME was a doozy- we had northern lights in the south!  I wonder if I've accidentally missed them earlier this year, because they aren't visible here with the naked eye; with my eyes they only look like slightly discolored or lighter clouds.  However, view them with your smartphone camera, and this is what you get!!! 

On another note, this is the only thing that was on my bucket list; what does that mean??? ๐Ÿ˜†

They were visible for over an hour; one burst after another.  It was crazy!  And it was so hard to stop- just as hard as it is to stop picking blueberries- I always want to pick "just one more."

Oh wow, @Ispend2much6, that's beautiful!  I hope that someday I can see that because it's on my bucket list, too.

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

@CookieGirl1  The next time you hear a cme is going to hit the earth, start looking a day or so later. Through your phoneโ€™s camera.

 

 

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

What a show!!!! @Ispend2much6 

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

@CorgiMommy  It was the most exciting experience Iโ€™ve had in a long time (excluding driving lol.)

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

Wow!! Those are fantastic shots! How incredible! 

Last night we had them to, thou we get them very rarely it's not unheard of. I am so impressed that the show of lights happened so far south. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ–ค

 

Hummmm... ๐Ÿชฃ Maybe it means you get to add more items? @Ispend2much6 

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

@Ispend2much6 so cool ๐Ÿ˜

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

Northern CA was the southernmost area that might have been able to get these @SportyGirly125 . That's almost unheard of!

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

@Ispend2much6 I saw a shop I follow post about it. Sheโ€™s located in Seattle. 

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

We surprised some deer out on a walk, I saw surprised to see such a small one this time of year.

The deer farthest from us was so much smaller than the others around. They stopped to look at us for a bit and then just kept on thier way. ๐ŸŒฒ

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

Your pictures look like postcards @CynthieLu - so pretty!

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

Thank you @Ispend2much6 there's something about seeing deer in the wild that feels special. ๐Ÿ’œ

Re: Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿž

@CynthieLu  Aww a little family!!   We actually spent the summer trying to deter deer.  They like our yard and my roses.
