The 1st November Sunday

I hate daylight savings time. During the night time switched back an hour and I have felt slightly off balance all day, It will start getting dark at 5 PM today and then by the time the winter solstice rolls around in six weeks, it will be dark by 4pm.

Winter days are often cloudy and dark and daylight savings time only serves to make us feel like we have even less sunshine.

More and more leaves are beginning to fall from the trees, but depending on where you look there are still patches of stunning color

This photo was taken this week in the Japanese garden at the local botanical garden.

I posted this photo earlier this week in Waves, but for those of you that missed it this is a Tamarack, or American larch (Larix laricina). It is a native conifer that is unique because it is deciduous. It sheds its needles in the fall after turning yellow.

This charming new snackbar/restrooms building was recently added in the botanical garden. The crabapple trees are beautiful in the springtime when they are in bloom and the apples will support wildlife this winter.

These milk cap mushrooms have popped up all over the neighborhood this week. Not one that I would risk eating!

If my memory serves me correctly, we have not had daylight saving time for 11 years. More precisely, the arrows were switched to daylight saving time in the spring, but they were not switched back in the fall. It was already dark outside at 4:30 p.m. today. On the shortest day, December 21st, it will be dark at 3 p.m.

You are further north so 3pm dark makes sense. I hope it's a mild winter.

Hello, happy Sunday.
The pictures you took at the botanical garden are very beautiful.
And the process of changing schedules must be very uncomfortable, we only have one schedule and two seasons here, but what I have seen lately is a huge change in the weather.
I hope you enjoyed the walk.
My best wishes.

I hate the clock change, it gets dark early and bright earlier. But what does that really accomplish? When you need light is five PM when people are driving home... Personal rant...

Beautiful pictures from the Japanese Botanical Gardens, such gorgeous fall colors. How is your bird watching coming along these days?
