October in Photos

 October is almost gone and I have not written a single blog post. It's harvest season. Johnny has made lots of cider. I've canned ugly tomatoes and lots of pears. Halloween approaches and here is what it looks like on the farm... and at Huddleston Pond...


A Giant Pacific Salamander appeared in the orchard one morning. It was about a foot long.




Here's the salamander





And here's the foot


One fine day I birded Huddleston Pond in Willamina with a new birding friend...

 As Halloween approached, so did the local ghosts and bats...
