This page begins with a sales pitch for our only 2020 Print Edition Calendar.  All photos which are used in the calendar are shown in Rows 1 - 5.  Following that are photos which were taken between October 3rd, following my surgery, and October 12th, after I was able to start getting around quite well again.  Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Our Only 2020 Print Edition Calendar
  Here are three images which show various aspects of the only 2020 PRINT EDITION Calendar that we've made.  This is available now, the Amazon link to it is HERE.  This calendar is available only with USA Holidays.  Of course it can be ordered through your local bookstore, just go to the Amazon link, write down the ISBN number and ask your local bookstore to order it for you.  If you prefer not to look at Amazon, the ISBN is 978-1-70211-646-6.  HERE is a PDF file which shows what this calendar will look like when hanging on your wall (new window).  It is 1.63 MB in size.  It's COMPLETE, but Watermarked, secured against printing, reduced in size to 3.95 inches in width and PDF'd at the VERY lowest possible quality - all in an attempt to prevent theft.  I suggest that you right click on the link and select "Save Link As".  Then after it's downloaded to your Hard Drive in a place where you can find it again, open it in Adobe Reader - version 9 or later (very important - it most likely will not open in a version earlier than 9).  Click here for details page.

  Here are three photos taken just after our first snow of the season on October 5th. The first photo shows the amazingly huge sugar-snap pea vines in our garden (everything else had been harvested already), the second photo shows a bit of snow on the branches of our larch tree, and the third photo shows snow on a pea flower.

  More snow, overnight on October 5th. The first photo shows the garden and driveway. The second photo shows a Black-billed Magpie searching for a moldy suet cake which we had thrown on the ground to let the voles nibble on. In the third photo the Magpie has found the suet cake.

  In the first photo the magpie again eats on the moldy suet cake in the snow. In the second photo it is eating an egg which we found badly cracked in a carton of eggs we had and put out on that post to see what would come and eat it.

  The first photo here shows that magpie eating on the same egg which was shown in the previous row. The second photo shows a female woodpecker on a tree - we are not sure if it is a Hairy or a Downy Woodpecker. This one appears to be small, so it's probably a Downy Woodpecker. The third shot shows our Christmas Cactus - it blossomed in October.

  Here is a male Downy Woodpecker - the Hairy Woodpecker is much larger than this when seen on the suet feeder. The second and third photos show our larch tree at its maximum beauty on October 12th.
