Most of the leaves have changed color and fallen, but a few remain. This Buck strolled through my yard, with his Doe. The deer are now a dark brown, their Fall/Winter coat color.

I took those photographs between about 2pm and 2:30pm today, as some snow squalls passed through my area. Southwest Connecticut does not normally have snow in November, but it has fallen as early as October in some years. This partially covered some areas in white, but it started to melt when the sun reappeared.

Foxglove Plants - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

I took that photograph this past week. A few weeks ago, I noticed several small plants growing. I think these sprouted from seeds that came from the lone Foxglove plant that grew two years ago. Their germination time is similar to what I think is an Evening Primrose that I harvested seeds from, and which grow two years after the seeds drop from the flowers onto the ground. In the past, in the Fall (Autumn), I have seen plant growth similar to this for the Evening Primrose flowers, and then in the Spring, the plant grew to full height. I am hopeful that will happen with these Foxglove plants.
