Here are some pictures from November 29. My friend and I were visiting the cow boys and hanging out with them for a while. They were also doing some cow boy games together.

some boys who are cows on their pasture, side view. three are far away and one is close, I'm not sure what his name is but I think he might be Peanut Butter. there are also some wild looking bare trees.

The following pictures are from November 30. There was a quite beautiful sunset.

sunset behind a half timber building and a wall with a large dark wooden gateway. there are tall trees behind the building that are black against the peach-pink and blue-grey sky. there's a medium size chestnut tree that has lost all leaves in front of the building and also a small spruce tree that is decorated with lights.

It was another mild, dry day.

I visited the cow boys on the far side of the big pasture. Fernando was coming to the stream for a drink.

Cows are in fact very flexible and can reach a lot of spots on their body with their tongue.

I foraged a bunch of dandelion leaves and grass for my large pet rabbits. They eat a lot. It is quite impressive.

It was a cloudy day, not terribly cold. I went out into the fields to get canola leaves for the bunnies. I saw all 8 cow boys, and they are all in this picture.

In other news: leaves.

various different fallen leaves on the ground in shades of green, brown and yellow, and some pine needles too

fallen leaves scattered on the ground, mostly cherry, oak and willow in shades of brown and yellow

It was a gloomy grey day.

They started coming towards me after a while and then they went for a drink from the stream.

It was a good day for walking.

I visited the baby girl cows and the cow moms.

Then I visited the cow boys, too.

Leonardo came to check me out.

Walking in the fields gave me a lot to think about.

It's getting dark so early now, especially on overcast days like today. I barely managed to go outside in time before it got entirely dark.

I visited my friends, the boys who are cows, on the orchard meadows. They were all there, eating fallen leaves off the ground. Like I said, there was barely any light left for photos, but I figured I should post cows whenever and in whatever way I can.

It was a cloudy day. I went out into the fields and got some canola leaves for the bunnies, and some dandelion leaves too.

some trees in the evening. their leaves are muted autumn colours, the lighting is moody and gloomy.

The natural world is ever changing and yet it provides a sense of stability.

The cow boys were playing their games, and running around quite a bit at the far ends of the orchard. All of them were there.

the apple orchard, dark, wild looking trees that have already lost many of their leaves. in the distance, there are some boys who are cows underneath the trees. the sky is all grey.

We will outlive those who want us gone. And nonhuman nature will outlive us all.

I've been hanging out with some new friends today, they're a small group of two mom cows with their two baby girls. They are currently on the street side apple orchard pasture, which is the one I can see from my window. They seemed shy and a bit skittish at first, but I waited a while and they started to come up to me and look at me, and then they seemed more relaxed.

four cows on an orchard pasture: two moms and two baby girls. there are village houses and trees in the background.

From the way they were interacting, I believe the black mom cow and the brown baby girl belong together, and vice versa.

The sunset and post sunset sky was very pretty today.

I'm not sure what this little fungus is.

The cow boys are currently on the apple and plum orchard meadows out back, I didn't get a good picture of them, but all eight of them were there.

a HDR shot of the post sunset sky over the fields. there is distant fog starting to come in, the clouds near the horizon are lit up bright pink while the ones overhead have already faded to grey.

It was a bright, sunny autumn day. I could see the mom cows and baby girls from my window.

The fields were really pretty past sunset.

It was a chilly, cloudy day. It was pretty dark by the time I went for my short walk.

a small grassy depression in front of the field, surrounded by trees and bushes. the orange sunset light is shining through from behind, highlighting some of the autumn coloured leaves.

Walt the cow boy did not decide to pose for me today in front of the sunset, but he briefly walked by, which is good enough.

Finally got a photo with all 8 of the boys in it again.

sunset over the empty field. the sky is almost entirely clear, with just some thin clouds by the horizon that are being lit up red and orange. there are trees and powerlines in the distance.

I went out into the fields for a bit after sunset and I saw a group of far away deer on the horizon.

It was a sunny day. I took a couple pictures in the afternoon.

green and bright red leaves in the sun

a house wall and an archway attached to it, overgrown with wild grapevines. the leaves are mostly bright red, and lit by the afternoon sun. the sky behind the nearby trees is deep blue.

Then I took more pictures in the evening. I can't get enough of these overgrown house walls.

The cow boys were being mostly chill, and some were playing their cow games, which I watched for a bit.

I had a busy day. When I went for my walk, it was already pretty dark. The weather was cloudy and a bit wet. I watched the cow boys for a bit, which was easy because they were right next to my garden.

Little Walt is so cute.

It was a low energy day. I went for my walk around sunset.

leaves of a different kind of wild grapevine, they are red with some yellow gradients.

dramatic sunset sky over the fallow field. the sky is deep blue overhead and orange near the horizon. there are wispy windswept clouds scattered all over, some light, some dark.

I visited the cows. Leonardo came to take grass from me. Walt (not pictured) also looked interested, but he was too silly to actually take grass out of my hand, which is in character for him.

another shot of Leonardo the cow boy, low perspective, looking at me, being cute with a piece of grass sticking out the side of his mouth.

I've been meaning to take more bunny pics but it's difficult since they are mostly active after dark. Here's Haru all grainy. He is of course delightful as usual.

It was a mostly sunny autumn day. I went for my walk near sunset.

the sunset, similar to above but a bit further along, and with a fresh narrow white contrail across it.

I spent some time with the boys. They were all there.

Here's Duncan, he took grass from my hand for the first time today along with Leonardo, Fernando and Paisley.

Here's a short video I took of the boys in which they are playfighting a bit and generally doing boy things. It features Fernando, Paisley and Peanut Butter. I could not get Peanut Butter to take grass from my hand yet btw, but I will keep trying.

The moonrise was at about the same time as sunset, the moon looked pretty but I couldn't get a nice pic of it.

It was a cool, partially sunny day. I had a nice little walk in this mushroom filled world.

the evening sky over the fallow field. it is partially blue, with thin layers of light coloured clouds and contrails, that are getting more opaque towards the horizon.

The boys have been moved to the big pasture by the stream a couple days ago. They were very busy eating grass.

I brought a bunch of little tree branches back from my walk for the bunnies to munch on.

It was a beautiful autumn day. The fae portal was wide open.

some twigs on a bush, the leaves on them have partially turned red. sunlight is hitting them, creating a high contrast colourful image.

the very bright low standing evening sun over the fallow field. the sky is mostly blue, with some thin clouds over the horizon and distant powerlines.

I was experimenting a bit with the HDR mode on my phone camera. The following 3 pics are using the effect. I like it for showing off these colourful scenes.

a vibrant colourful autumn view of a grassy area between a bunch of different trees. the evening sky behind the tree branches is a gradient of blue to light peach.

There were, of course, many mushrooms.

some young inkcap type mushrooms just bursting out of the soil. the caps are closed, roughly egg shaped and tan coloured. there are clumps of earth on them and they are surrounded by grass and moss.

The following pictures are from October 7. It was a rainy day and I was only outside briefly.

wild grapevine leaves that have mostly turned dark red. they are wet from the rain.

I visited the cows, who were resting when I arrived. Then some of them started getting up and grazing. They didn't seem to mind the rain.

The following 2 pictures are from October 8. It was a mild day, much warmer than the days before. I was busy for most of the day so I only went out in the evening.
