Our weather has turned quite cold already, but the sun somehow always makes me feel a bit warmer on these blustery days. The steady breeze made it look as though it was raining leaves.
Guy was enjoying some fresh air and sun while keeping an eye on our other cat Dot.
I love looking at the leaves and their various shapes and colors. I'm always amazed at how beautiful something that may seem so ordinary, is so beautiful. Guy enjoyed playing with them and even brought one in the house to keep as a souvenir. It lasted about ten minutes before he had it shredded and scattered all over the floor.

Guy Noir turned six months old this month. He is a very nice looking boy and he has the most beautiful long tail. He is very sweet and loves to play and get into all sorts of mischief.

The sugar maples turn this glorious yellow-gold color. I just had to get a few pictures looking up at the bright blue sky. I don't believe there was a cloud anywhere in sight!
Our little lake is pretty quiet now. The resident egrets and herons left several weeks ago and the ducks left last week after several nights of freezing temperatures. Now we will only see a few stragglers passing through headed on down to warmer states like Arkansas and Louisiana.

Guy was quite amazed at the leaves that were raining down on him. I have to remind myself that this is all new to him and the first time he has experienced autumn and a changing season. He spied our small crab apple tree and decided today was a good day to try climbing it. He was very proud of himself and after climbing back down, climbed it again!
Happy Birthday little Guy Noir!
