Autumn's advanced notices begin arriving amid late summer's greenery

So why don't I update here daily -- since I notice wilderness often, moment by moment, every day?!

During not-so-early morning, August greenery glows and shines...

But during dusk, autumn red stands out on a maple tree -- already!

A bunny almost blends into drying grass patches near a thicket...

This longstanding thistle I noticed weeks ago was mowed down...

But stealthily now, fleets of thistle-down seeds prepare for launch!

Has noticing without comment become a trait in my human nature?

'Garbage ghosts' run wild in these wintery woods...

Again, on my way to the neighborhood grocery store, I wondered, shocked and amazed, why so many "garbage ghosts" appear to run wild -- seemingly freely and boldly in late autumn's (or early winter's?) filtered daylight -- through the wild wooded edges around these lots. Here's my favorite, so far:

The scene: Buds blooming amid a thicket of bare branches during a late autumn heat wave!

"Undeveloped land" amid apartments and businesses opens a shortcut to a busy strip mall.

From a different angle this ghost appears to stride our suburban mini-wilderness boldly!

Soon after...

My companion Tortoise Cat and I explore more autumn leafy fringes...

Sun rays brighten the filtered wintry light as we stroll the edge of the parking lot at our place. 

The air was chilling as the scene brightened and we decided not to picnic that afternoon.
