Now Showing at an Alcock Park Near You (If you are near Frederika)

I am regularly seeing a couple of eastern bluebirds yet this year. I know, bluebirds are known to stick around for a long time, but seldom do I see one or more hanging around yet, so these are special. Since this one opted to perch on a branch near me, I photographed it against a background of vivid fall colors.

Not too far away, and only for a limited time, is a pretty scene most will enjoy. Seen through natural framing of autumn leaves is the dam on the Wapsipinicon River. Some wind and a little rain will erase this view, so enjoy it while you can.

I could not decide which composition of many I prefer, so I will share two of them.
