Cedar Waxwings Arrive and Autumnal Colours at Home~

Since I spent the past several weeks sharing our journey to the Northwest, I failed to share Autumnal colours on Tingsgrove. 
In this post, I will try and play a bit of catch up.
The above images placed into a mosaic, are of my home here on Tingsgrove.
It is a simple home with a little over 2 acres of wooded acreage.

A Brown Creeper examines all of the crevices in the trees on the land to look for tiny insects~

Some think that having Hedge Apples under their furniture will keep the spiders at bay, and some states even sell them for that very reason. 
I myself...do not believe in that~
 

Yellow-rumped Warblers move around so quickly, it is often times difficult to keep up with them, but I tried my best to capture a few~
 

These beautiful Oak and Sycamore trees are just outside the back of our home and I always look forward to their Autumn foliage~
 

And another Yellow-rumped Warbler~
 

 

And another...well they were taken at different times, for all I know it is the same bird~
 

 

Red-bellied Woodpeckers are very beautiful, and they are very naughty to our all natural wood home. 
They have caused more damage over the years than anything else, including Gray Squirrels~
 

We made it home in time to meet up with some of my most favored birds...the Cedar Waxwings came to eat mixed berries upon our land, and I was so pleased too~
 

A Yellow-shafted Flicker also partakes of the berries.
  

This tree was photographed at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville~
 

 

This mighty Oak tree was at the front entrance to Cave Hill~
 

 

Cave Hill Cemetery is not only a well known grave yard, it is also a gorgeous botanical gardens and one of the high spots when you visit the city.
Many of the trees and shrubs are labeled by name. 
The image below is a Smoke Tree.
Some plants that grow here, do not grow anywhere else in the surrounding state area.
 

 

The little maintenance shack was all decked out for the holidays~
 

When I hear the large groups of American Robins arriving for the eating of berries, I know that the Cedar Waxwings are on their way also~
 

Entrance to one of the 3 local farms that I photographed for this entry, taken in Oldham County on Covered Bridge Road~
 

Farm entrance 2~

Farm entrance 3 and those colours are the real deal! 
Those are Bradford Pear trees and they will be the last showing of Autumn colours

A foggy sunrise at the Icelandic Horse Farm on Covered Bridge Road in Oldham County~

My big old Sycamore tree looking very pretty with  what remains of the autumn backdrop~

A couple of varieties of the Burning Bushes that grow wild on Tingsgrove. 
The berries are taken even before those of the Honeysuckle vines~

Sunrise pastels over a dairy farm on Covered Bridge Road ~

I took these on an early Sunday foggy morning of a Great Blue Heron rising in flight as it heard the clicking of my camera shutter~

I really liked the form of the image below of a Cedar Waxwing, but the image was slightly blurred. 
Deciding not to delete it , but to get creative with my Picasa editing tools and this was what was accomplished~
