With the season’s change has been a three-day non-stop rain fest. The remnants of a tropical storm, the Chesapeake Bay has been under a deluge that seems to never end. Even more rain is predicted for a few more days.
While we did desperately need the rain due to a recent drought, one tends to get a bit waterlogged. Thinking it was time to start an ark, a short visit to Kinder Farm Park helped to brighten the day.
The leaves are starting to change for the autumn season is upon us. And even though the rain seems never ending, the poultry pens were busy.
I haven’t decided if the black duck is either the director of the Duck Band, or is just photo bombing for the heck of it.
Even the roosters seemed to have one that likes to be a boss.
While the hens sat fat and sassy.
The barns on the farm stood strong and stoic against the rainy torment. Keeping everything inside warm and dry.
Earlier in the day I went out and replaced the bird feed in our feeders. The amount of rain caused all of the food to be full of mold in very quick order. Perfect conditions for lovely fungi.
In spite of the rain cancelling the Harvest Fall festival which was scheduled for today at the park, it was still an enjoyable visit.

My sorrow, when she’s here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.

I love these pics especially the beautiful fall tree, the lovely green barn(love that color for a barn) and the very pretty mushroom. Never seen one in that beautiful orange color!!
Isn’t that tree amazing ! I got lucky that it was peaking when I saw it yesterday. The mushroom was cool too. People were looking at me really strange as I was sitting on the ground.
That tree was great and I always get funny looks when I’m taking pics from the ground
HAHA !! Especially when I’m laying down on my back.
Birds do have bosses, it’s called pecking order.
I love the green barn photo, especially how well you were able to capture the texture of the old wood.
Oh that’s right !! Forgot about the pecking order thing. Sort of like being head mare. 🙂
Awesome you like the green barn one. I think I need to work with that building more.
I think you’re right!

It has been one crazy weather year here as well. Stay safe your weather had us sock in with mist all day yesterday but we are promised sunny skies today. Stay safe. Lovely shots as always.
Please tell me you have sun today. If not, may I wish sunny and beautiful skies for you with fresh autumn breezes and stunning fall color.
A little sun yesterday call for rain today just that it will come as they once again drain the lake into my yard 😦 I need to get them to pay my taxes 🙂
The rain has arrived here too. We still managed to enjoy a lovely walk in the woods with Beano, our new puppy: 16 weeks old tomorrow! We all need the rain. Enjoy!
So essentially you haven’t slept the last 16 weeks then right? 🙂 How long have you had Beano? What a great name.
We’ve had him 7 weeks now. He’s great and sleeps all night.
Oh lucky you ! You can sleep at night ! Would love to see a photo of him.
Just sent you picture of Beano by email.
Oh he is absolutely adorable!!
Thank you very much. I’m glad you like it. He’s also a lot of fun.
Loved the fungus!

The more I explore this park, the more I like it. So happy you enjoyed these. 🙂
