This is what happens after Fall Foliage Show, trees get naked and trow their leaves all over the place!
There are still some leaves hanging tight on the trees, for now, but the rainy and windy days are
coming, so this might be the last post with leaves on the trees after all.
These pictures are from Sandy Bottom Nature Park at Hampton, Virginia.

It's very interesting what the city of Hampton have done on these 456 acres!
At one point this place was a garbage dump, but then they got environmental conscious and
turned it into an environmental education and wildlife management facility. Where we can go
camping, fishing, canoeing or just take a walk to enjoy native wild life. I'm kind of
summarizing the little that I know. If you are more interested about it, please read here.
They also have native animals on display. According to them, those are animals that
are found hurt and they have rescued them. But if you wonder about other animals on
display that are not hurt at all, like above squirrel. Well, They are display volunteers!
Thank you for your visit!!

ReplyDeleteit's a very pretty place. thanks for sharing the fences and leaves, too. we've lost a good deal of our autumn leaves last week with high winds. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I smiled when I read that the squirrels are volunteers!
ReplyDeleteNice fences, and the leaves and all. I enjoyed all. Not sure what is sitting on your 4th fence.
ReplyDeleteI believe is a bat house :)
DeleteI love this time of year. The photos are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWonderful fence shots. I really like the round knobs on the fence tops. Also enjoyed seeing the owl and the cute squirrel.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to make something beautiful on that land. I love the light through the leaves.

Lovely photos! I really like the fence posts! It surprised me to hear you mention the city of Hampton; we have a city with the same name here in Northern Iowa.
ReplyDeleteStill lovely to see the last of the autumn leaves adn there are lovely fences around them
ReplyDeleteFantastic images....I can almost smell the Autumn/Leaves fragrance as they lay on the damp ground. Oh, and the Owl in the caged fencing....fabulous.
