Fall is in the air
Colors just before Sunset
I think this weekend is when the leaves will be at full peak here in Allegany State Park. Hope to get a few more shots to share with everyone!
Milkweed Seeds are Flying Everywhere!
Welcome!
Welcome to the mon@rch nature blog and I hope you join us in some of our nature adventures through the Allegany State Park area!
I am a naturalist, field biologist and nature photographer from the Western New York area. I have started exploring nature writing through this blog and it truly has been fun sharing my numerous adventures with everyone. Thanks to the many other authors that help me with my post and they will be sharing some of their nature explorations.
I have always had a latent interest in birds and photography and have been lucky enough to find time to explore these interests over the last few years. I am very thankful to the Cattaraugus County Bird Club for getting me started, sharing their wealth of knowledge and for their wonderful programs. And many thanks to Tom for letting me share some of my adventures and photos on the Monarch Nature Blog.
Thank you for taking the time visiting and commenting on this blog.

It looks so fresh, crisp, and brisk. A great season!

I don’t think we have any leaves left after last night, violent thunderstorms and Tornadoes wreaked a lot of havoc in our neck of the woods!
Even though our leaves were still pretty green the high winds and heavy rains took a huge toll on our fall colors for this year. Great image I guess I will just have to enjoy your fall 🙂

Lovely autumn sunset picture! Very tranquil and my most favorite season by far. I always feel such an urgency to suck in as much autumn goodness as possible before it’s quickly gone!

Ohhh, Tom, how beautiful! It must be a sight to see in person. I hope you really enjoy your weekend taking photos. And I love milkweed fluff. So soft, silky and smooth.

This is a spectacular photo of Autumn’s colors.
Milkweed is one of my favorite sights. I love to watch the seeds float and drift in the air.
Enjoy your Autumn weekend. Your area is very, very beautiful! Your photos are almost as good as seeing for myself.
Always, thank you for taking the time to post.

Oh, what a beautiful photo Tom! We’re just barely starting to get some color down here, but I don’t think it will be as spectacular as this.
