I finally managed to go on my walk a little earlier, as in, before sunset. I went out to the fields. It was a bit chillier than the previous days, and a little windy too.

a field with many young sprouts of some sort of grain plant, they are bright green and backlit by the low standing sun

tansy inflorescence in the evening sun, with many yellow button-shaped flowers

the edge of a field in the evening sun, the field is covered in a thin layer of green. the shot is framed by trees on both sides and there are distant powerlines under the mostly clear sky.

I went to the secret spot, where the leaves looked like melting gold in the evening light.

After sunset, I went a bit further into that strip of woodland between the fields. I found a fairy ring of parasol mushrooms, which I left undisturbed.

By the time I returned home, the light was almost entirely gone.

Another absolutely beautiful day. I went on a walk to the Secret spot.

a group of trees against the orange sunset light. the leaves are colourful, partly green and partly yellow.

a big tall tree with multiple trunks on the side of a small stream. the leaves have autumn colours and the ground is covered in fallen leaves.

The ground at the Secret spot was absolutely overgrown with these mushrooms. It was hard to find spots to place my feet without stepping on them.

forest floor of a small wooded area, it is covered in fallen leaves and a lot of brown mushrooms, with some small plants growing that are still green.

I love the way this area looks in the evening light.

wild looking ground cover plants in a small wooded area. the leaves are green and red and some are being hit with the last remaining evening light, creating dramatic contrast.

I saw the 4 far away deer again (not pictured), and a perfect sunset.

a scene by the grassy edge of an empty field just after sunset. the shot is framed with a dark willow tree on the left and a colourful red-orange leafy tree to the right. the sky is a pastel gradient of blue, peach and yellow.

the post sunset sky over the empty field. there are distant powerlines and some thin wispy clouds across the gradient sky.

I was watching the birds today around noon. They were being very lively and active. I saw about 10 different species. This green woodpecker came very close to the window, and they once again proved that birdwatching goes both ways.

I went for my walk in the early evening.

the entrance archway to my garden in the autumn sunlight. everything is still green. there are large cherry tree branches growing above the path.

There are still a few things growing in my garden, such as these tomatoes. Some of my strawberries are of an everbearing variety, so I have a few small strawberries sometimes even at this time of year.

I went to walk between the fields.

the dry wildflower field in the warm evening sunlight. there are some trees in the background. the sky is blue with many white puffy clouds.

the edge between two fields near sunset. one field has a thin cover of green plants on it, the other one is bare earth that looks freshly plowed. the sunset light is yellow and giving high contrast lighting to the clouds overhead.

trees with their roots holding onto the small stream's bank. the water appears greenish.

a group of tree trunks standing close together. the bark is striped. at the base of the trees is a pile of big old fallen tree branches.

a bunch of wild growing trees and shrubs by the side of a field. they have various shapes and thicknesses. the sun is setting behind them.

The secret spot is a good place to watch the sunset.
