11/1 First Snow
Nasty windy cold rain turned to a little snow which stayed for a few hours.
11/2 Oriental Bittersweet
An invasive plant that eventually kills the trees it is crawling on. Very dense foilage during the summer. The birds like the berries which greatly assists the plant in spreading.
11/3 Big Oak With a Little Color
Old oak trees seem to goe directly from green to brown, whereas the younger trees turn a pretty dark red for a few days.
11/4 Common Milkweed Seeding
Seed pods opening earlier this year. Pretty white seeds that fly a long distance in the wind.

Nice weather holding on for us.
11/10 Angry Looking Clouds
But all we got was some wind.
11/11 Last of Color
This is one of our azalea bushes and is the last thing to hold some color. When we get a big freeze the leaves will finally drop. Almost all of the rest of the tree and bush leaves are on the ground.
11/11 Pink Spirea
Deep colors with green tips of branches.
11/12 Big Frost Crystals
These are the longest ice crystals I've seen around here in a long time.

11/14 Bare Trees and Bald Sky
A typical late Fall and early winter appearance here in Western Michigan.
11/15 Barb's Birthday Bouquet
All lily flowers this year. If all the buds open, should be a beautiful bouquet.

Nest must have blown down last night--had pretty gusty winds for a bit. Interesting colors in it.
11/16 More Birthday Flowers Opening
Three different colors in bouquet.
11/17 Silver Dollar Standouts
They really are a bright whitish color. Easily spotted amont the dead leaves.
