Just a couple more days ‘till fall, Bucketeers! Get your rakes and leaf mulchers ready.
The Daily Bucket is a nature refuge. We amicably discuss animals, weather, climate, soil, plants, waters and note life’s patterns.
We invite you to note what you are seeing around you in your own part of the world, and to share your observations in the comments below.
Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the phenological patterns that are quietly unwinding around us. To have the Daily Bucket in your Activity Stream, visit Backyard Science’s profile page and click on Follow.

I am tempted to say that fall is my favorite time of the year, but that would be less than truthful. I love all the seasons of the year pretty much equally. I love winter, although maybe not so much as when I was a kid and looked forward to the snow, and skiing, and building snow forts, and sledding and going snowmobiling. I love summer and getting out and hiking in the woods and taking nature and wildlife photos. I love spring and the return of the birds and watching the flowers and trees come back to vibrant life and bloom. However, it’s hard to beat fall if you’re in the right place at the right time. Speaking of right place and time, here’s where I plan to go at the end of the month or around the first week of October:
In looking through my photo archives I see that I was amiss in capturing much in the way of last year’s fall colors here in Reno, NV, so I am going to turn the diary over to you. Any fall colors yet in your area? What do you like best about fall?
