  • Waterfalls in the Autumn Woods

    Along the Tom the Tinker Trail in the Kane Woods Nature Area.

  • Cosmos

    Still happily blooming in gardens everywhere at the end of October.

  • An Autumn Stroll in Seldom Seen

    Today old Pa Pitt wandered along the Saw Mill Run in Seldom Seen and set himself a challenge: to take pictures that could be published straight from the camera without any editing at all.

  • Maple Leaves on a Brick Pavement

  • Pond and Fall Trees

    Next to Shenot’s Farm Market near Wexford in Marshall Township.

  • Fall Comes to Seldom Seen

    Early fall colors are appearing in the Saw Mill Run valley along the Beechview–Seldom Seen Greenway.

  • A Green Bee

    Father Pitt believes this is Agapostemon virescens. The world of entomology is one old Pa Pitt wishes he had entered into earlier; a whole universe of fascinating wildlife surrounds us, and some of these animals are shockingly beautiful. The flower is a Marsh Mallow (Althaea officinalis).

  • Zinnias

    Zinnias have become very popular in the last few years, and we never need an excuse for flower pictures.

  • Bee on Goldenrod

    Goldenrod is everywhere in September, which makes the bees very happy. Here we see a bee having the time of her life with a Tall Goldenrod (Solidago altissima).

  • Bracket Fungus

    Bracket fungus growing by the Whiskey Boys Trail in the Kane Woods Nature Area, Scott Township.
