Falls Colors at Spring City Park - Sky Watch

Well, I am back in Spring City for a couple of days. Got up yesterday morning and decided to go up on the plateau to see the colors there. It appears they are a day or two beyond peak. Did get some good photos around the water, I will be posting those later.

When I got back to the valley (I guess Spring City is considered in the valley, either way it is not on the plateau) I went by the Spring City Park and took all of these photographs in the park.

We probably still have a few more days of peak before the leaves start dropping fast. Did you notice I said we? How quick I am adjusting to being here.

Common Buckeye

I was really surprised to see the butterfly in the park. We were told the Monday morning we were gone (vacation) it was 31 degrees. This past Monday morning is was 41. So you would think the days of photographing butterflies would be over until next year. I got excited when I saw the Buckeye, doesn't take much to excite me sometimes.

Please visit Sky Watch Friday to view wonderful photographs from all over the world.

Downy Woodpecker

First he showed me the back of his head. Little did he know, I was glad to see that red spot.

Then he flitted one way, and then the other. These were taken at the Spring City Park.

What a difference 2 weeks can make

The top photograph was taken October 15, the 2nd was taken November 2. Both looking in the same direction at the Spring City Park in Spring City, Tennessee.

The last 2 were taken October 15.
