Today's random pictures are a farmer's field bordering on the woods, and a placid pond in the middle of the woods. Different days, different woods.
Wooden posts linked by chain separating a shade-dappled path along the edge of the woods from a golden field of ripe grain, ready for harvest. The sky is powder blue and filled with little fluffy clouds.Reed-lined, brackish pond in the middle of a scraggly forest.

Today's random pictures are a walk through the autumn woods, and a giant, concrete bird. A lot of the small towns in this part of the country have giant markers like this in, or near their town (birds, tortoises, garter snakes, etc).
Broad path extending through tall fir trees. The ground is covered in leaves, and a few of the shorter, deciduous trees are interspersed among the first, holding onto their last colourful leaves of autumn.A giant concrete bird -- a prairie chicken, or grouse, or something of the sort. It stands on a concrete pedestal with large rocks embedded in it.

Looking out through the entryway of a covered pavilion. A walkway made of horizontal wooden planks extends a metre or so out of the door and meets another walkway at a T intersection.

Tall reeds grow beyond the walkway, and even up through the gaps between the boards of the walkway.
