Backyard Autumn Nature in New Jersey

My hot pepper crop that the deer left. Also some strawberries that the deer missed. The Burma water gourd vine has climbed up the trellis on the chimney. It has produced some gourds, but probably too late to get very big.

Daily Electric Energy Used (53.2 kWh) from Sense and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (39.3 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. More sun than yesterday. Notice the reduction mid-afternoon due to the sun being lower and being blocked by the leaves on the   Overall a net deficit of 13.9 kWh. I would have a surplus if I wasn’t running the lights for the hydroponic gardens (17.4 kWh).

One-Year Ago (14-October-2018) — Portugal

Gone to See Portugal. Street Photography Workshop with Steve Simon. Day 0: Lisbon, Portugal.

I arrived in Lisbon a day before the workshop. I walked around most of the day. Lots of tourists in town to watch the running of the marathon. Later in the evening I had dinner with Steve Simon.






Individual Images from the slideshows can be viewed here.

Backyard Autumn Nature in New Jersey.

This young deer thought it was hiding in the bushes. Looks like some type of wound on its belly.
